Kynosophie (jawel!) 1923

This 1923 charcoal drawing titled "Kynosophie (jawel!)" by German artist Erich Wichmann (1890–1929) depicts a figure in profile, possibly a person, with an elongated neck and a distinctive, rounded head. The subject's face is partially obscured, adding a sense of mystery and intrigue to the composition. The gestural lines and minimal details characteristic of Wichmann's work are evident in this drawing, suggesting a focus on capturing the essence of the subject rather than precise anatomical representation. The inscription "jawel!" adds a touch of humor and personality to this small-scale work. This drawing exemplifies Wichmann's artistic style which was influenced by Expressionism.
