Untitled (Cafe scene)
c. 1926–1930

A sketch of five people seated around a small table, seemingly engaged in conversation or a meal. The artwork is done in a dark, impressionistic style with visible strokes and smudges, giving it a moody atmosphere. The figures are rendered with minimal detail, focusing on the overall shapes and postures rather than individual features. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
