Ruhende Zigeuner

About this work

This woodcut print features a nighttime scene with a small house and a horse-drawn cart. The dark sky is filled with stars and a crescent moon. In the foreground, a woman and a man are shown, possibly gypsies, with the woman holding a baby. The print's black ink on japan paper creates a striking contrast, drawing attention to the figures and the landscape. The artist's use of bold lines and geometric shapes adds to the overall sense of simplicity and elegance.
