  • This is a drawing of an empty billboard structure. The composition features a large, blank rectangular billboard set against a textured, sketch-like background. The billboard is elevated on a series of vertical and diagonal wooden supports. The surface of the billboard is solid and unadorned, emphasizing its emptiness and unused state.
