Animal Legend (Tierlegende) is a 1912 ink by Franz Marc, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut print is filled with animals, including a monkey, a bird, and a fish. They're all tangled up together, with leaves and branches surrounding them. The print is done in a bold, black style on a light background. If you look closely, you can see the texture of the woodcut technique. It gives the print a rough, handmade feel. This style reminds me of the work of artist Franz Marc.
Franz Moritz Wilhelm Marc (8 February 1880 – 4 March 1916) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of German Expressionism.
