Young Couple (Junges Paar)

Käthe Kollwitz

1904 · Etching · Drawings and Prints

In Young Couple, a cramped and claustrophobic space represents the tension and emotional distance that divides the two figures. The man turns his back and recedes into shadow, while the woman, her body separated by overstuffed pillows, faces forward, her face nearly devoid of emotion.
