Figures Beneath the Hills

Szőnyi I.: rézkarc 30 x 34: Nyári munka -1920-as évek, hagyatéki bélyegzővel. A sepia-toned figurative drawing presents a small group of people gathered across a sloping rural landscape. A standing figure gestures toward the distance while another bends or kneels in the foreground, with additional figures receding along the hillside beneath a broad, arching tree form. Dense crosshatching, wiry contour lines, and emphatic diagonal strokes give the scene a raw, exploratory energy, while the compressed composition and aged paper lend it the character of an early twentieth-century study.
