Doorway with Figures
1965

A black and white etching depicting two shadowy figures within a dark, textured space that resembles a room or a stage. The figure on the left is seated and facing away, while the figure on the right stands with a faint outline, appearing almost ghostlike. The artwork has a haunting, contemplative atmosphere. Handwritten text at the bottom includes a signature and possibly the title of the piece.
