About this work

This print shows a woman in a green dress with sharp, angular lines around her. Her face is simple but expressive, and her hands hold something small. Behind her, black and white shapes look like leaves or branches, with a bright red dot floating above her head. The artist used bold colors and strong contrasts to make the image stand out. The red dot is the only bright color, drawing your eye. Next, look up Otto Lange (German, 1879–1944) to see more of his work.
