Radar Outpost [State I]
1947

This is a detailed etching with a complex, abstract design featuring various surreal elements and shapes that evoke a dream-like atmosphere. The composition includes what appears to be mechanical parts, organic forms, and shadowy figures, with a mix of dark and light areas creating a sense of depth. There are handwritten inscriptions at the bottom, indicating the title and possibly the artist's signature and date.
