German artist Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) was born on this date. She mostly produced paintings, but she made a few etchings around 1901, and this is one of them, her "Blinde Frau im Walde" (1902, Blind Woman in the Woods). In this case, the woods are near the rural artists' colony of Worpswede, where Modersohn-Becker spent much of her short career. (She died from heart complications following childbirth at the age of 31.)
