Fodder
1935

Etching depicting a rural winter scene with two figures, possibly farmers, standing on a furrowed field covered with snow. On the left, a cow is visible inside a shelter, and on the right, a person carries a bucket. The background features a dark, overcast sky, and the overall tone of the image is somber with a strong use of light and shadow contrasts. The bottom of the image includes handwritten text that reads "Fodder" and "Third Proof."
