"Zwei Tiger" by Norbertine von Bresslern-Roth
I stumbled across this in an Image aggregator yesterday. It's from an auction catalog. Number 299 of 300 was auctioned off recently. It was predicted to go for 600 Euros, which is on the expensive end for a print. Instead it went for 2600 Euros, which is a testament to how awesome it is. (You could probably buy a fair to middlin Rembrandt for that same price.)
It's a hand printed woodcut from an Austrian artist that I'd never heard of before, Norbertine von Bresslern-Roth (1891 - 1978,) and one of the most stunning prints I've ever seen. I'd love to see one up close. The DeYoung and the Legion of Honor have a lot of other work on hand by the artist, here is the link to their imagebase search:

They call Norbertine an "animal painter," but almost all the images, and certainly the most impressive ones, are all linocuts and woodcuts.
