Prayer Meeting No. 2
1916

A vintage etching or lithograph depicting an indoor scene with several figures engaged in various activities. On the left, a man plays a wind instrument while a woman sits at a piano. In the center, a woman stands with her arm raised, holding a light, as she looks upwards. To the right, a group of people are seated, attentively watching the scene. The room has a gothic ambiance with a large window in the background, and the artwork has a dark, moody tone. The artist's signature is visible in the lower left corner.
