"Solitude (Second Version)" (1952) is a print by American artist Karl Schrag (1912-1996). Executed in a unique style that combines expressionist tendencies with a focus on line and detail, the work evokes a sense of isolation and contemplation through the depiction of a solitary figure standing within a dense, abstract forest. Schrag, known for his evocative landscapes and figure studies, utilized the medium of etching and aquatint to create this striking print, a testament to his mastery of graphic art.
