Angled Beauty
1918

An etching depicting two nude figures, possibly female, in a dynamic pose with one knee on the ground and the other standing with one leg lifted, surrounded by abstract, swirling patterns and shapes. The artwork has a dreamlike, ethereal quality, with the figures appearing to emerge from or interact with the ambiguous forms around them. The print is signed in the bottom right corner.
