James Joseph Kearns (b. 1924) etching, signed at dated "1957." Depicts a man with hollow eyes and a despondent expression with a hand outstretched. Similar to many of his works, there is a malaise or hopelessness to the subjects that gives them almost an alien, inhuman aesthetic.
Framed, but does not include easel.
