Crows in March
1952

A black and white lithograph depicting a dramatic forest scene with a crow in mid-flight among tall, slender trees. The sky is filled with swirling clouds, and the ground is textured with what appears to be foliage and fallen branches. The image has a dynamic, somewhat eerie quality, with strong contrasts and expressive lines. There is handwriting at the bottom of the image, likely the artist's signature and some annotations.
