Frau D.S. 1917

"Frau D.S." (1917) is a woodcut by German Expressionist artist Emil Nolde. The piece depicts a woman's face in a simplified, almost abstract style, with bold black lines and a limited color palette. The stark contrast between black and white intensifies the viewer's focus on the subject's expressive features, particularly the eyes, lending a sense of emotional depth. Nolde was known for his expressive use of color and form, which are exemplified in this portrait.
