Poverty (Armut)

Deutsche Grafik 1903–1925, 1919

The image shows a person depicted in a stylized manner. The person is seated on the ground with one knee raised, an arm draped over it, and the other hand resting on the surface. The person's face is angular with distinct lines, large expressive eyes, and sharp features painted in bold colors. Their hair appears to be dark and closely cropped. The clothing consists of a blue garment with red accents, possibly a jacket or coat, and brown trousers. The feet are exposed. The background is abstract, featuring geometric shapes in various colors suggestive of a cityscape or landscape, with blocks of black, green, and purple adding depth and complexity to the scene. There is a signature "A. Walth" and the year "1919" noted at the bottom of the image.
