Charcoal or lithograph drawing of a crowded outdoor urban scene at night, with a man in a hat and coat standing at center holding a cane, surrounded by groups of figures in the middle and background; figures at left gather around a table; loose, expressive linework with strong contrast between dark shadows and areas of bright light.
Charcoal or lithograph drawing of a street procession, with a group of figures in light clothing at center foreground, a canopied float and banner carriers behind them, and a woman carrying a basket at right, rendered in energetic, gestural strokes with strong black-and-white contrast.
Lithograph depicting several men in suits around a table scattered with bottles and glasses; two figures slump or collapse while one stands with arms raised, rendered in stark black and white with dramatic cross-hatched shadows. A lit window in the background shows a small distant figure.
Lithograph in black and white depicting two figures in a fragmented urban setting; a standing figure in the foreground grasps flowing fabric, while a crouching figure at right looks on, angular rooftops and hatched shadows filling the background with bold, expressive mark-making.
Charcoal or lithograph drawing of a dense crowd of figures in dark tones, rendered with angular, Expressionist distortion. Multiple faces with hollow, wide-set eyes press toward the viewer; one figure at right carries a long pole or rifle. Bold contrasts of light and shadow with vigorous gestural marks.
Lithograph or charcoal drawing depicting a crowd scene with five partially draped female figures in the center, faces upturned, flanked by mounted horses with banners at left and onlooking figures at right, against a fragmented geometric background of hexagonal shapes and angular urban forms.
