NOID and Horse Ploughing

This small (16 x 11 cm) but very powerful German linocut ("linolschnitt") is a good occasion asking your help reading the signature (click for embiggen). Maybe a certain German reader will be obliged shedding his light. I think it is amazing how well the composition, the proportions and perspective, the atmosphere (sunset ?) and the backlight are all combined in this great little chiaroscuro print.

As a bonus, creating a thematical posting I throw in all prints of horse ploughing I could find and remember.  It will be by no means "complete". Please feel free sending me others. The email adress can be found above: contact.
