Illustration to a Poem by Arno Holz 1898

This black and white illustration by Alfred Roller, created in 1898, features an intricate design of stylized flowers and a single, prominent, female face emerging from the bottom of the frame, seemingly part of a winged creature. Roller, known for his work in the Jugendstil style, uses strong, graphic lines to depict this scene, which was created for an illustrated poem by Arno Holz. The artwork is a powerful example of Roller's distinct artistic style, blending nature with mythical imagery to create a captivating visual narrative.
