Mother of the Assassin Being Interviewed by a Reporter
1965

A pencil sketch depicts an elderly woman seated at a table looking up at a standing man who is smiling and holding a pen over a book. The man is wearing a hat and a coat, and the woman is wearing a dress with a floral pattern. There is a decorative floral pattern in the background on the left side. Handwritten text at the bottom of the image appears to be a signature and possibly a title or description.
