Invitation to Studio Party
1921

An etching on a large sheet of paper featuring a small, detailed scene of a group of people gathered, possibly at a social event. Below the etching, there is handwritten text that appears to be an invitation to a party, with a date and initials, as well as a signature at the bottom right. The paper has pinholes at the corners, suggesting it may have been displayed or stored on a wall.
