The Spanish Peaks
1939

A black and white etching depicting a dramatic landscape with rugged mountains under a swirling, textured sky. The foreground shows a lightly detailed plain leading up to the dark, shaded mountain peaks. Handwritten text at the bottom left corner appears to be the title or description of the piece, and there's a signature at the bottom right. The paper has rough edges, suggesting it may be a print or a plate impression.
