What does this mean?

Hello,

This is an original ink drawing by Helmuth Uhrig, a mid-20th-century German religious artist known for his spiritually themed and symbolically rich illustrations. Signed and dated 1961, this work exemplifies Uhrig’s characteristic linearity and use of iconography—stylized figures rendered in stark black against negative space to evoke biblical or liturgical narratives.

The paper shows light age-related spotting, but no structural damage is apparent. Given the drawing’s medium (ink on onion-skin paper), it has survived in notably good condition, and the presence of the artist’s signature enhances its value and collectability. Uhrig’s works are scarce on the open market and are often found in religious publications or ecclesiastical commissions rather than in traditional art galleries, making original signed pieces relatively rare.
