The Last Drawing
Le Dernier Dessin
Year: 1927
Description: This work was published in a book of woodcuts by various artists. Entitled "The Last Drawing" some have confused it as Hermann-Paul's last drawing. Although his professional work began to taper off in the late 1920s, Hermann-Paul lived for another thirteen years. This was certainly not his final drawing.

The Broken Jug
Le Pot Casse
Year: 1927

This endearing woodcut was printed in an edition of 160, black ink on white wove paper. Its sharp jagged lines instill a sense of unease which increases the further one's eye ventures away from the woman. It is signed by the artist in pencil in the lower right corner.

At The Gallery
Year: 1930
Description: Later in life, Hermann-Paul turned his attention to the foilbles of the art market. His contempt for artists, dealers and gallery owners is evident in many pieces during this time. In this piece, Hermann-Paul even pokes fun of buyers. The artist tries to display patience with a perspective buyer. He fails in that endeavor. So Hermann-Paul even pokes fun of himself.
Woodcut printed with black ink on wove paper. Signed and numbered in the lower right hand corner. Edition of 25.
