Couple at a Table (Self-Portrait with Maschka) by Otto Mueller, 1922 - 1925

Otto Mueller captures a raw, intimate moment in this striking yellow and black print, featuring himself and his wife Maschka. The bold, angular lines and stark contrast are hallmarks of German Expressionism, stripping away polite realism to reveal the emotional undercurrents of the scene. Notice the '30/60' in the corner—this is print number 30 out of an edition of 60, a collectible slice of bohemian history. Mueller was famous for his depictions of free-spirited life and nudes, using a distinctive style that felt almost primitive yet deeply modern.
