The Burial (Begräbnis)

Deutsche Grafik 1903–1925, 1916

The image consists of wavy, elongated lines and shapes forming an abstract depiction of a procession moving through a valley. Small, dark shapes with highlights of red and blue suggest figures marching or walking. Abstract formations resembling hills are on both sides, with black lines suggesting landscape contours. In the distance, blocky, red forms could be interpreted as buildings. The dark background enhances the abstract nature of the image.
