Study for Nighthawks
1941 or 1942

A sketch on a beige paper featuring two cylindrical objects resembling tanks with various taps and fittings, possibly brewing equipment. To the right, there's a small figure drawn in a more abstract style, seemingly suspended in the air. The paper has a rough right edge, indicating it may have been torn from a larger piece.
