Group of Figures
1937

A black and white etching depicting a group of African American figures in a field. On the left, a standing woman with a stick oversees two children, while in the center, a woman seated on the ground reaches out to a dancing child. To the right, another woman holds a child aloft. In the background, there's a simple dwelling with a figure standing by the entrance. The scene conveys a sense of dynamic movement and everyday life.
