Midsummer's Night
1922

A black and white etching depicting a lively outdoor scene with numerous figures, possibly at a dance or gathering, under a canopy of trees and a gazebo-like structure. The image has a dynamic, sketch-like quality with strong contrasts and movement suggested by the varied, expressive lines. Text at the bottom indicates the title "Midsummer's Night 1922" and the artist's signature.
