Artist, American, 1910 - 1992

This is a drawing of a circus scene at night. The scene depicts a group of elephants pulling a large wheeled cart or wagon laden with goods. The sky is dark, with wispy clouds partially obscuring the moon. Tents rise in the background, supported by tall poles, and vertical elements add to the scene. In the foreground, there is grass and a barrel on its side. The composition is filled with movement and activity, including several figures engaged in tasks around the wagon. The drawing is done in a monochromatic style with attention to detail, likely through the use of ink or charcoal.
