Venetian II 1910

"Venetian II" (1910) is an etching by German artist Hermann Struck (1876-1944). The print depicts a close-up portrait of an older man with a long beard, captured in a moment of contemplation. Struck's masterful use of line and shading conveys the subject's weathered features and subtle emotion. The image is a testament to Struck's mastery of the etching technique, creating a striking portrait of the human experience through expressive lines and tones. This piece is a fine example of Struck's expressive realism, typical of his work and the German art scene of the early 20th century.
