This woodcut, titled 'Blätter (Leaves)', features a circular, stylized depiction of leaves. The composition is simple, with the stark black design contrasted against a light peach-colored paper.

This wood matrix by Vassily Kandinsky presents a roughly rectangular block with a circular image carved into its surface. The image within the circle appears to depict abstract figures and forms, seemingly related to equestrian themes. The overall composition is centralized, with the circular image as the primary focal point.
