In prints such as this portrait of a female worker, she depicted Berlin’s most disenfranchised inhabitants. The sitter’s direct gaze and exhausted pose suggest not only her difficult living and working conditions but also her dignity. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Catalogue of an exhibition of the art of lithography : commemorating the sesquicentennial of its invention, 1798-1948.
