Man Struggling with an Ox

Italienische Grafik 1747–1775, ca. 1747

Various curved lines and organic shapes intertwine in this abstract composition. A series of overlapping and elongated figures are central, draped across tree shapes. Green tree branches form a natural archway above these figures. Below, a curled, textured form resembles a resting animal. The artwork creates a surreal tableau reminiscent of dreamlike landscapes.
