The Bay Window
1915–1918

A black and white etching depicting a person seated by an open window, reading a large piece of paper. The scene is framed within a larger blank paper canvas, with the artist's signature at the bottom right. The artwork conveys a quiet, introspective moment, with light streaming in through the window, suggesting a peaceful, indoor setting.
