A woman holding a heart is situated next to a king-like figure, a church-like structure, and a woman being attacked by a monster. The image is stylized and features strong, bold lines characteristic of Lauweriks' Art Nouveau style. It presents a symbolic narrative, possibly exploring themes of faith, sin, and morality. The text present on the piece is in Dutch, further emphasizing its connection to Dutch cultural and artistic traditions. This small woodcut exemplifies Lauweriks' unique artistic vision within the context of the Art Nouveau movement.
