About this work

This image shows a simple black-and-white design on a light background. Two tall lines stand next to each other, with a cluster of jagged shapes and small figures below. The lines look like they’re holding up the rest of the drawing, which is uneven and sketchy. The artist signed it in the corner with "R. Hausmann" and the year "19." The marks are rough, almost like a quick sketch, but made with a woodcut technique. Look up woodcut to see how this kind of printmaking works.
