The Misunderstanding
1948

A black and white etching depicting two figures in the foreground, a man on the left and a woman on the right, both dressed in what appears to be traditional or historical attire. The man is facing forward while the woman is in profile, looking to the right. In the background, there is a smaller scene showing three figures walking hand in hand. The artwork includes signatures and inscriptions at the bottom.
