On the Wharf

Deutsche Grafik 1903–1925, 1931

The artwork features abstract geometric shapes and lines forming a scene. Rectangular and circular forms create figures and structures, with a large figure on the right holding an object. In the background, simplified shapes suggest boats, a lighthouse, and industrial buildings, while a crane extends over the water. The color palette includes blues, browns, and greens. The overall composition is structured and abstract, with elements that resemble objects found at a dock or harbor.
