Description

This etching piece is unsettling. The two figures seem lifeless with their eyes filled with holes. The shadowing on the faces give partial shadow to the faces. The left child is holding a baby doll that also has no eyes and the right figure has an eerie slender face and only it's cheekbones are visible while still seeing the holes in her eyes. This piece is etched in black and white.
