Die Aktion Jg. 6, Nr. 5/6 (5. Feb. 1916)1916

Not on view
Woodcut or wood engraving of a robed figure with a halo, nearly absorbed into dense, swirling black lines suggesting billowing fabric, on cream paper
Black and white print with dense cross-hatching; a robed standing figure pours water from a vessel over the head of a second long-haired figure immersed to the waist in swirling water, with billowing clouds above.
