Dream on the Beach
1936

A surreal pencil drawing featuring a large reclining head of a woman in the foreground with her hair flowing to the left. In the background, there are three figures: one standing by a table, another with arms raised against a wall, and a third standing in a doorway. The scene conveys a dream-like quality with a play on perspective and scale.
