The Proposal
c. 1942

An etching depicting two figures, one clothed and one nude, with the clothed figure appearing to be in a seated position and the nude figure standing behind with one arm extended. The scene is rendered with fine lines and detailed shading, giving it a textured and dynamic appearance. There is handwriting at the bottom of the etching, possibly a signature and a title or edition number. The paper on which the etching is printed shows signs of aging at the edges.
