Snake
1931

A black and white print depicting a chaotic and abstract scene with various shapes and forms that resemble elements of a landscape and figures. There are dark, dense areas of cross-hatching and lighter areas that create a sense of depth. In the foreground, there's a prominent white shape that looks like a stylized "S" next to the artist's signature and the year 1931. The print is centered on a larger, beige paper with a handwritten note in the bottom left corner indicating the print number out of a series.
