Office Girls
1938, printed 1977–1978

An etching depicting two figures, likely women, standing and facing each other in conversation. They are dressed in mid-20th-century attire with hats and coats, and the scene appears to be set indoors, possibly in a corridor or a room with a picture hanging on the wall in the background. The image includes handwritten text at the bottom that reads "Whistling proof" and a signature.
