The New Robe #2
c. 1939

A black and white lithograph depicting three figures reminiscent of classical art, with two nude women and one draped male figure. The background features a tree and a rocky landscape, with a portion of a brick structure visible. The image has a surreal quality, combining detailed human forms with a stark, contrasting environment. There is handwritten text at the bottom.
