Second Balcony
1936

A black and white illustration depicting a group of people with exaggerated expressions watching an event, some with their hands to their faces in anticipation or excitement. They are behind a railing, suggesting they are in a balcony or stand, with a dark, blurred background that gives the impression of motion or action, possibly at a sporting event or performance. The artwork has a signature at the bottom right corner.
