A Mother's Sorrow
1942

A black and white etching depicting a somber scene with two figures. The central figure is a man with a beard, resting his head on his hand, appearing to be in deep thought or sorrow. In front of him lies a younger figure, possibly a child, gazing upward with a pained expression. Behind the bearded man stands a shadowy figure draped in black, suggesting a presence of mourning or death. The artwork is rich in texture and contrast, conveying a strong emotional weight.
