The Proposition
1948

An etching depicting two figures, one with a bare chest and the other in a dark garment, sitting closely and looking intently at each other. The figure in the garment appears concerned or empathetic, while the bare-chested figure has a contemplative expression. The artwork is signed at the bottom and has a vintage, textured quality.
