This image depicts a black and white print with a bold, graphic quality. It prominently features what appears to be a silhouette or a stylized representation of a standing figure, possibly a classical statue. The figure's pose is reminiscent of ancient Greek or Roman sculpture, suggesting grace and poise. Above the figure to the right are the initials "AB." Below the figure, the words "EX LIBRIS" are printed in block letters. "Ex libris" is a Latin phrase meaning "from the books of," commonly used to indicate book ownership, often accompanied by the owner's name. It is traditionally placed on a bookplate inside the front cover of a book. In the bottom right-hand corner, there is a handwritten inscription that seems to read "K.O. 9/1935," which may denote the artist's initials and the date the piece was created or printed. The overall style of the image suggests it is most likely an ex libris bookplate design. The paper on which it is printed appears slightly aged and has some crease marks, indicating it may be of some vintage. The medium used for this artwork resembles that of a woodcut or a linocut, where the negative space is carved away, leaving the design to be inked and pressed onto paper, creating a strong contrast between light and dark areas.
