Description: This work was published in a book of woodcuts by various artists. Entitled "The Last Drawing" some have confused it as Hermann-Paul's last drawing. Although his professional work began to taper off in the late 1920s, Hermann-Paul lived for another thirteen years. This was certainly not his final drawing.
