In this copper plate etching, Cahan captures the religious ardor and penitent sentiment shared by the figures in the artwork. The piece is number seventy-six in a series of one-hundred etchings entitled Atonement.

Cahan said that his interest for drawing started when he was only an infant. In a 1967 interview, the artist describes his primary school years as vastly disinteresting. While other students heeded their teachers or studied math, Cahan drew. At 12-years-old, Cahan exhibited his early talent for drawing on Fulton Street’s sidewalk. Barefoot and armed with chalk, he crouched outside a restaurant and drew the sinking of Maine. At the time, it was recognizable ship that was smashed by the British.

Upon seeing the young boy’s skill, Hersh offered him a job in the newspaper’s art...
