This black-and-white woodcut shows a woman in a headscarf lying prostrate across a pale ground, her arms reaching out and her bare feet visible at the right edge. The stark contrast between the dark field and the carved white forms conveys a sense of grief. The work is Käthe Kollwitz's 1922 print titled The Widow II (Die Witwe II).
