Faces
1965

An etching depicting two sketched faces, one in the foreground appearing somber and shadowed, and the other in the background in profile. The piece has a rough, textured quality with visible lines and marks from the etching process. The artwork is signed and dated in the bottom right corner, with a series number on the bottom left, all on a cream-colored paper with a slightly frayed edge at the bottom.
