This is a black and white drawing featuring abstract figures surrounding geometric structures. The drawing is on a page with German text titled "DIE NEUEN HÄUSER." The abstract illustration on the page shows angular forms suggesting architectural elements and elongated figures interacting with each other. The drawing style uses heavy black lines and shapes to create contrast. The figures are in dynamic poses, implying movement or action in a simplified and distorted environment.

Die Neuen Häuser (The New Houses) (in-text plate) from mock-up of Georg Heym: Umbra Vitae (Georg Heym: Shadow of Life)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (German, 1880 - 1938)
