In the Subway
1928

A black and white sketch of a smiling, rotund figure seated in a subway car, wearing a large, fluffy coat and a bucket-shaped hat. The person is holding a small handbag and appears to be wearing gloves. The drawing has a whimsical, caricature-like quality, and there is text at the bottom that reads "To Carl Zigrosser" and "In the Subway" with the artist's signature and the year 1948.
