Grigory and the Child (Book III: The Sensualists, p.74) 1949

Fritz Eichenberg's 1949 wood engraving "Grigory and the Child" depicts a man with a thick beard and glasses reading from a book illuminated by a candle. The shadowy, dark background, and the focus on the man's concentrated gaze create a sense of mystery and intrigue. Eichenberg's distinct style is evident in the bold lines and dramatic contrasts, characteristic of the wood engraving technique. The piece is likely a book illustration and conveys the intensity and drama of the scene, drawing the viewer into the story.
