Lovers on a Stoop
1936

A black and white lithograph depicting a dramatic scene with two figures. A woman with flowing hair and a dress is slumped over, appearing unconscious, in the lap of a seated man who looks up with a concerned expression. His arm is extended upwards, reaching for something unseen. The setting suggests an interior space with a dark, heavy curtain in the background. The artwork conveys a sense of urgency and distress.
