Imprisoned
1934

This is a black and white etching with abstract and somewhat chaotic imagery. There are various shapes and lines that could be interpreted as stylized figures or objects, with some resembling human or animal forms. The composition is dense with overlapping elements, creating a sense of movement and energy. The bottom left corner of the image contains text that reads "Imprisoned 13/35 cello-cut" and is signed "Beau 'Mergo' 34" in the bottom right corner.
