Demoiselles D'Avignon De San Ygnacio
1984

A woodcut print depicting a group of skeletons in various poses, surrounded by what appears to be tattered cloth or cobwebs. The skeletons exhibit exaggerated expressions and gestures, suggesting a lively or macabre scene. The artwork has a strong contrast with dark lines on a lighter background, and the paper shows signs of aging around the edges.
