Kirche von Dröbsdorf (Church of Dröbsdorf)

Lyonel Feininger's *Kirche von Dröbsdorf* is a striking etching rendered on cream laid paper that showcases the artist's signature geometric abstraction and angular fragmentation of form. The composition captures a small German church through a network of sharp, intersecting lines that simultaneously evoke both architectural solidity and an almost crystalline, atmospheric lightness. Feininger's masterful use of the etching medium lends the work a delicate yet precise quality, with fine lines building depth and structure across the warm tones of the laid paper.

Medium
Etching, on cream laid paper, with full margins.
