"Hands of Fate"
1948

A vibrant expressionist painting depicting a bustling street scene with exaggerated perspectives. Two figures climb ladders against a building with a large clock, while a person holding balloons stands near a shop with a mannequin. In the foreground, a small statue of a figure with a violin is perched on a table next to a plate and a cup. The scene is filled with bright, contrasting colors and a sense of dynamic movement.
