This is a drawing of an abstract landscape and figure with accompanying text. The image features a stylized black and white depiction of a mountainous landscape with a central seated figure set within angular and sharp lines. Above the image is the title "PILATUS" in bold text. Below the drawing, there is German text. The artwork is rendered with a woodcut-like style that emphasizes contrast and texture, characteristic of expressionist prints. At the bottom of the page, the number 57 is printed.

Pilatus (Pilate) (headpiece, page 57) from Georg Heym: Umbra Vitae (Georg Heym: The Shadow of Life)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (German, 1880 - 1938)
