Not on view
Etching or engraving on white paper depicting two draped female figures, one seated with eyes closed and one standing with wide eyes and an outlined halo, with a skull near the lower left
Black and white intaglio print with dense fine-line hatching; surrealist composition featuring two nude figures amid large organic rock-like forms, a large insect at left, winged figures in a cloudy sky above, a reclining animal skull in the foreground, and a row of small objects along the bottom edge.
Ink drawing, two figures rendered in fluid black line work on white; a reclining nude woman with long dark hair looks upward while a larger draped figure looms above, fabric billowing around both forms; a small dark winged motif appears at center.
Drypoint print with energetic hatched lines; a bearded male figure in the foreground looks upward, while a second figure appears faintly in the upper background amid fragmented angular forms.
Drypoint or etching with very faint, lightly inked lines depicting a seated nude figure amid loose, energetic hatching strokes that fill the surrounding space.
Ink drawing with energetic, jagged crosshatching; two nude figures amid fragmented angular forms and radiating spiky bursts, one figure upright at upper left, another reclining at lower right; monogram and date visible at lower right corner.
Intaglio print with expressive linework; two nude figures recline and reach toward each other across a dark, swirling mass of foliage or hair, while a smaller seated nude figure appears at lower left amid circular forms; jagged diagonal lines radiate from both sides of the composition.
Lithograph or graphite drawing with expressionist style; distorted human and animal figures tumble diagonally across a dark, turbulent composition, with angular urban buildings at right and billowing smoke above; dense stippled and hatched mark-making throughout.
Graphite or charcoal drawing with stippled shading; a masked woman in an elaborate feathered costume stands center-left, flanked by two men in top hats and formal dress, with a decorative interior and balcony scene in the background.
Stippled pen-and-ink drawing of a seated figure in loose clothing on an ornate chair, surrounded by flowering plants, birds, and a building facade, rendered in fine dotwork with soft tonal gradations.
