Melancholie II 

"Melancholie II" is a striking black and white line drawing by Karl Wiener, a German artist known for his expressive, stylized figures. The artwork features a woman with her head tilted downward, her expression melancholic. Wiener's use of sharp, angular lines creates a sense of emotional tension and contributes to the overall feeling of sadness. The minimalist approach, with only black lines against a cream background, emphasizes the fragility of the figure and amplifies the emotional weight of the subject matter.
