Weighing Angel 1946

"Weighing Angel" (1946) is a woodcut by German artist Hans Orlowski (1894-1967). The print features a winged angel holding a set of scales, with the angel's face and form rendered in a stark, simplified style, characteristic of Orlowski's work. The background is composed of a series of vertical lines, perhaps symbolizing the pillars of justice or the weight of the world. This woodcut reflects the themes of morality and judgment, often explored by Orlowski throughout his career. The print measures 35.2 x 25.4 cm.
