Strap Hangers
1940, printed 1977–1978

An etching depicting a group of figures, with one prominently raising their arm, possibly in a gesture of speech or leadership. The scene appears to be set indoors, with minimal background detail. Handwritten text at the bottom left corner suggests a title or description, while a signature or mark is visible at the bottom right. The paper has ample blank margins surrounding the central image.
