Emigrants

Emil Orlik

National Gallery of Art

Four people are depicted from head to knee, positioned closely together. On the left, a person wearing a dotted headscarf is seated, resting their head on their hand and looking downward. Next to them, a person with short, dark hair partially covered by a dark scarf gazes intently ahead. They are dressed in a dark coat. The third person is mostly covered by a patterned blanket, hiding most of their features except for a glimpse of their closed eyes and part of their face. Standing behind them is a person with a textured beard, wearing a cap and long dark clothing, appearing to look downwards towards the group. The background is a simple textured surface.
