Watercolor by Oskar Schlemmer, "Unterweisung" ("Instruction," 1932). A figure with a round, dark head sits in the foreground; a second, profiled figure leans in, pointing as if explaining. A third, block-like figure stands in the background before a geometric shape. Simplified, cubist forms in muted blue, ochre, and grey tones — typical of Schlemmer's Bauhaus style.
