Etching with energetic, gestural line work depicting a reclining nude figure at center, a rearing horse to the left, and a second figure above right, set against loosely hatched foliage.
Etching with fine linework; a nude figure rides a lion-headed creature at left, facing a dense crowd of human figures and faces emerging from swirling vegetation at right; full moon and clouds above in a pale sky.
Pen and ink drawing of a fantastical nocturnal landscape with a crescent moon and stars above densely tangled trees and swirling vines; a nude figure reclines in water at lower left amid curling organic forms and dotted textures.
Black and white print with bold hand-drawn Gothic lettering reading "TRAUMBÜHNE" across the top, flanked by dense curling acanthus-like scrollwork forming a partial frame, with a faint sketched profile face at center.
Tall, narrow print in black and white with gestural, expressive mark-making; two dark figures at the lower left dwarfed by a looming vertical mass, with a narrow streak of white light dividing the composition.
Intaglio print in black and white depicting a crowded interior scene with columns and arched windows. Formally dressed figures in top hats and dark coats mingle with nude figures amid ornate baroque organ pipes at left. A large recumbent animal form lies in the foreground. Dense cross-hatching throughout.
Black and white etching or lithograph depicting a crowd of figures surrounding a large bonfire, with a pale nude figure crucified on a cross rising above the flames; clothed observers including a figure in a top hat stand at left, while a mass of figures with outstretched arms crowds the right; dramatic contrast between deep blacks and luminous whites, with expressive gestural linework throughout.
Lithograph in black and white depicting two nude figures amid loosely rendered drapery or rocky forms, with expressive granular mark-making and high contrast between dark shadows and white ground.
