Klee made this print in his first year as a teacher at the Bauhaus. Because of her closed eyes, the depicted woman seems to turn inwards. She is shown in a moment of introspection or vision, concentrating on the ‘inner light’ of the title. Klee was often inspired by children’s drawings and African art: influences that can be seen here.
