Untitled
c. 1920–1933

A black and white lithograph depicting a tense scene with several figures, including a man in the foreground pointing a gun with a determined expression, surrounded by other men with serious and anxious faces. Some figures are wearing hats, and the overall style is expressive with strong contrasts and dramatic shading. The artwork conveys a sense of confrontation or conflict.
