Double Date Delayed

An etching depicting two figures, one seated and one standing, with a dog in the foreground. The seated figure appears contemplative, while the standing figure leans over, engaging with the seated person. The artwork has a sketch-like quality with expressive lines and is signed at the bottom, along with the text "Whitney proof." The etching is centered on a large white paper background with ample margins.
