This untitled work depicting four figures, apparently united in suffering, was probably created in Casablanca, Morocco in 1949, where the artist moved with her second husband following her traumatic experiences at the hands of both the Nazis and the Russians during and after the Second World War. The closeness of the intertwined figures and the agonized expression and apparent exhaustion of the young woman at the front of the composition, who appears to be supported - either willingly or unwillingly by her companions - suggests suffering.
