The Jungle
1926

This is an etching titled "The Jungle" from 1927, edition 100, by Benny Widjan. The scene depicts a chaotic street filled with numerous figures in various states of distress or action. A central figure on horseback towers above the crowd, while people on the ground appear to be fighting or collapsed. The buildings lining the street frame the tumultuous activity, and the image conveys a sense of intense emotion and movement.
