This dark print shows four hooded figures sitting close together. Their faces are shadowed, and their robes blend into the dim background. One person holds a fan-like object. The edges are rough, like the artist scratched into the metal plate. The rough lines and dark tones make it feel tense. This was made in 1937 using a printmaking method. Look up etching to see how artists create these textures.
