Night Shift

Night Shift: Medium-sized mezzotint print of people in a dim hallway in the evening with lamps on tables providing light with the brighter light at the end of the hall in the background. In the foreground on the right, a woman is seated in profile, and a male figure is rendered in motion walking toward the foreground. Only a portion of the male figure’s face can be made out the rest of the form is dark. In the background on the right, there is another seated female figure in profile, but she is dark only silhouetted. To the right of that figure, close to the center of the composition in the background, are two additional female figures silhouetted against the light.
