This drawing shows a chaotic cityscape at night. Tall buildings loom in the background, their outlines sharp and jagged. A bright sun hangs low in the sky, casting a strange glow over the scene. In the foreground, a lone figure lies on the ground, arms outstretched, as if caught in a moment of collapse or surrender. The contrast between the dark, angular buildings and the bright sun creates a sense of unease. The figure’s pose suggests struggle, but there’s no clear story—just raw emotion. Look up Ludwig Meidner to see more of his intense, expressive work.
