Street Accident
c. 1938

This is a monochrome etching depicting a group of figures in various states of distress or injury, with some lying on the ground and others standing or walking with support. In the background, there's an ambulance and buildings, suggesting an urban environment possibly after a disaster or conflict. The artwork conveys a sense of chaos and suffering.
