Woman Kneeling before a Seated Man 

This drawing by German Expressionist sculptor Ernst Barlach depicts a seated male figure with a woman kneeling before him. The work is executed in black ink, with hatched lines that create strong contrasts of light and shadow. Barlach's art, known for its raw, expressive style, often explored themes of suffering, faith, and human experience. This drawing likely reflects his profound engagement with these themes, hinting at a narrative of reverence or supplication. The figures' simplified forms and emotive gestures further accentuate the drawing's dramatic and introspective quality.
