Malevolent Night
1934

This is an image of an abstract etching with a dark background featuring various shapes and figures in a dreamlike composition. There's a prominent vertical light beam on the right side with silhouetted figures within it. The artwork is filled with textures and patterns, and there are hints of red and yellow colors throughout. The bottom of the image contains handwritten text, presumably the title of the piece and the artist's signature.
