Adolf Dehn

Out Strolling
1927

This is an illustration of three anthropomorphic figures with elongated faces and beak-like noses, wearing academic gowns and mortarboards, walking through a park-like setting with trees and a pond, where swans and a horse-drawn carriage are visible in the background. The style is reminiscent of a satirical or whimsical caricature, with the figures appearing to be in conversation. The artwork is signed and dated in the lower right corner.
