Fritz Eichenberg's 1949 woodcut "Brother, Turn to Me!" is an illustration for Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel *The Brothers Karamazov*, depicting a scene from the story. The image is set in a shadowy, cobbled street lit only by a single gas lamp. Two figures, one male and one female, are walking towards each other in the dark, conveying a sense of mystery and impending encounter. The stark contrast between light and dark, and the use of geometric shapes, create a dramatic and evocative atmosphere.
