(No title)
1944

A black and white photograph capturing a person sitting inside a rustic building, looking out of a window with a broken pane. The individual is holding a violin and bow, seemingly in a moment of contemplation. Outside the window, a scenic view unfolds with a railway track stretching into the distance, flanked by mountains and a bright sun low in the sky. To the right, a rifle leans against the wall, adding a contrasting element to the scene.
