Frauenkopf (Woman's Head)

A striking example of Otto Dix's unflinching portrayal of the human figure, this colour lithograph presents a woman's head with bold, expressive lines and a vivid palette characteristic of the Weimar-era New Objectivity movement. Dix renders his subject with psychological intensity, capturing both beauty and raw humanity through his distinctive combination of sharp detail and satirical undertone. Printed on wove paper with full margins, the work exemplifies the artist's mastery of printmaking as a medium for probing social commentary.
