The Bereaved
1950

This is an etching depicting three distressed figures with exaggerated features, in a style reminiscent of Expressionism. The figure in the foreground covers his face with his hands, while the other two appear to be looking out with concern or fear. The artwork is signed by the artist at the bottom right.
