Artist, American, born 1898

This is a drawing of large stone blocks forming a wall. The drawing shows a structure composed of massive blocks stacked upon each other, resembling a constructed wall or a worksite. Sturdy ladders lean against the stone blocks, allowing access to different levels of the structure. Above, there are cranes lifting one of the blocks, with cables visible under tension. The scene conveys a sense of construction or an unfinished monumental structure. The texture and shading provide depth and dimension to the drawing, suggesting a meticulous architectural or engineering focus. The drawing is linear with precise edges and mechanical elements that give it an industrial atmosphere. The sky in the background is depicted with light hatching lines, contrasting with the rough stone surface rendering.
