Manhattan Rooftop in Moonlight
1980

A black and white etching depicting an urban nightscape with a full moon shining above silhouetted buildings, some with visible windows. The scene is framed by dark, angular rooftops in the foreground, and the moon casts a glow on the structures and the sky, creating a stark contrast of light and shadow. The artwork includes a signature and edition number in the lower margin, along with the title "Rooftops in Moonlight."
