Noonday Meal
1947

A vintage etching or lithograph depicting two seated figures, likely women, in a dark, simple interior. The figure on the left is wearing a headscarf and holding a bowl, while the figure on the right is eating from a bowl with a spoon. The artwork has a dedication written in the lower left corner that reads "To Ben, Happy Birthday 1947," and is signed by the artist, "Cattan," in the lower right corner. The image has a warm, aged tone, suggesting it may be a historical print.
