Exlibris of Ludochka 1976

This woodcut, "Exlibris of Ludochka," by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Aksinin is a prime example of his work in the 1970s. The piece features an intricate design, with a central figure seemingly wrapped in a cloak with detailed patterns and lines that are a hallmark of Aksinin's style. The word "Exlibris" indicates that it is a bookplate, a small design intended to be placed on the inside cover of a book to identify its owner. "Ludochka" is likely the name of the book's owner. While the piece is enigmatic, it showcases Aksinin's talent for intricate detail and visual storytelling.
