Summer Travelers in the Subway
1958, printed 1981

A vintage etching or drawing depicting two women standing close to each other, holding onto a vertical pole. The woman on the left is wearing a headscarf and a sleeveless top with high-waisted shorts, while the woman on the right is in a short-sleeved blouse and skirt. Both appear engaged in a task or conversation, with the woman on the right pointing upwards. The background is sketchy, suggesting an undefined space, and the artwork has a rough, hand-drawn quality. There is a signature at the bottom right corner.
