In Die Träumerin (The Dreamer), a female figure emerges from a dense field of crosshatched lines, her eyes closed in quiet withdrawal. Light gathers softly across her forehead and cheekbones, while the surrounding darkness presses inward, creating an intimate and introspective atmosphere.

The composition balances stillness and tension. A faint vertical line bisects the space, subtly structuring the image and reinforcing the work’s psychological depth. The figure appears suspended between interior thought and external presence.

Through the tactile language of drypoint, the artist transforms repetition into presence. The human form gradually emerges from the accumulation of marks. The result is a portrait of inwardness: restrained, contemplative, and quietly luminous.
