Wakende vrouw 1903 - 1920

"Wakende vrouw" (Awakening Woman) is a woodcut print created by Bernard Essers between 1903 and 1920. The artwork depicts a woman in an ornate, possibly Middle Eastern, interior. The woman is partially nude and sits beside a reclining figure, who may be asleep. The composition is dominated by dark tones and intricate patterns, emphasizing the richness of the setting. The use of strong contrasts and bold lines is characteristic of Essers' work.
