Kopf II, from Köpfe

A bold and expressionistic lithograph by Alexej Jawlensky, *Kopf II* from the *Köpfe* series presents a stylized human head rendered with intense, graphic lines and a powerful sense of inner spiritual presence. Jawlensky's characteristic reduction of the face to essential forms reflects his deep engagement with the mystical and emotional potential of the human visage. Printed on delicate Japanese paper with full margins, the work demonstrates a refined sensitivity to surface and material that complements the raw expressive energy of the composition.
