About this work

An ink drawing showing a large snail with a spiral shell carrying a small winged figure on its back, while a flame-haired man with an exaggerated profile dashes across the ground beside it. Loose, scribbled hatching and wavy lines suggest motion and a sketchy, expressive hand. The work is titled Die böse Schnecke, by Heinrich Kley, dated 1909.
