Grosz was a central figure in New Objectivity and produced biting, unflinching graphic works depicting Weimar era prostitutes, profiteers, and social outcasts with the same stark black and white visual language and sharp social critique seen in this Dix print.

Kollwitz created powerful black and white graphic works and prints centered on vulnerable, marginalized figures rendered with raw emotional intensity and a deeply melancholic social consciousness that closely mirrors the mood and subject matter of this piece.

Kirchner repeatedly depicted street workers and urban figures of Weimar society with an expressionistic distortion and psychological unease that shares the dark figural portraiture and social commentary present in this Dix graphic work.
