"Glück und Unglück" (German for "Luck and Misfortune") is a drawing by Karl Wiener, a German artist known for his unique and often satirical style. The drawing depicts a group of stylized figures against a city backdrop. A woman with exaggerated features and a flowing gown stands in the center, while a shrouded figure with a skeletal face stands behind her. The figures are rendered in a simplified, almost cartoonish way, lending the scene a sense of both whimsy and unease. Wiener's work often explored themes of social commentary and the human condition, and this drawing is a powerful example of his ability to blend the humorous and the poignant.
