"14013 („Hier zeig ich Dir …“)" (1931) by John Elsas (1851) is a geometric abstract collage. The work consists of layered strips of colored paper, primarily black, red, and white, arranged in a triangular form. A simple, stylized face is situated within the central layers, suggesting the figure of a person, perhaps a child. This abstract composition, housed in the Städel Museum, is a prime example of Elsas's work, showcasing his unique approach to collage and his ability to create evocative forms through simple materials.
