Heinrich Maria Davringhausen
Karamazov: Nine lithographs1920

Not on view
Lithograph of a nun in full habit standing in a glowing oval of light, arms slightly extended, looking upward toward a star-filled night sky
Lithograph in dark gray tones; a stylized male figure with an oversized, exaggerated face sits at a brightly lit table with a smoking candlestick; in the shadowy background, a small white figure sits on a desk near a shuttered window; fine grainy texture throughout.
Lithograph in black and white; full-length figure of a man in a dark coat standing in an interior space, face rendered with exaggerated, distorted features and deep shadows; large window at left, circular light fixture above.
Lithograph or aquatint interior scene in black and white; an empty wooden chair sits in a beam of light cast from an open doorway revealing a railed balcony beyond; heavy curtains hang at left with diffuse light behind; fine granular texture throughout.
Black and white print or drawing of a winter landscape with stippled and smudged technique; a bare, damaged tree stands at left amid a flat snow-covered plain, with smaller broken stumps receding into the distance; a dark, star-dotted sky with billowing clouds dominates the upper half.
Black and white lithograph or drawing of a young woman in a camisole seated upright in a metal-framed bed, facing forward, with a small nightstand holding a candle and small objects at lower left, and a window with a city view visible in the dark background.
Lithograph in muted gray tones depicting a half-length, partially unclothed woman standing behind a table with an open drawer, facing forward with a simplified, mask-like face. A lit desk lamp illuminates the lower left foreground; an empty wooden chair sits in the shadowed background.
Lithograph in dark tones depicting a standing figure with exaggerated, mask-like facial features in white garments, beside a small table holding a teacup, beneath an angled skylight window revealing a night sky.
Lithograph with expressionist style, two figures at a white-draped table: a standing figure in clerical dress with a cross pendant, and a heavyset seated man with clasped hands, a bare tree and building visible through a window behind them, rendered in dark tonal gradations.
