Animal Legend

German Art around 1900, 1912

The image displays a composition of sharp, angular shapes and curved, flowing lines converging in a striking manner. It is an abstract design where the conglomeration of lines and shapes suggest familiar objects like animals situated among foliage. The bold, dark lines against a pale background accentuate what seems like a leaping antelope, small creatures resembling rodents, and abstract formations that evoke a natural setting or landscape.
