Artist, American, 1883 - 1958

This is a drawing of a construction scene involving the partial demolition of a large structure. The architectural environment is depicted with shading and contrasts. A wrecking ball hangs from a crane set against the partly demolished structure, which includes large arches and pillars. There is depth and texture highlighted by intricate pencil work, with light illuminating surfaces. To the left, there are sketches of figures, potentially workers, drawn with minimal lines. The composition presents tension between the man-made structures and natural light.
