Demolition No. 2
1940

A detailed etching of a quiet urban courtyard scene with the back of a residential building, featuring windows with shutters, a fire escape, and a staircase leading to a door. The ground is uneven with scattered debris, and the image conveys a sense of abandonment or disrepair. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
