Associated Names

Florence Bateson

Artist, American, born 1917

This is a drawing of a snowy urban scene with figures shoveling snow. The drawing depicts three figures shoveling snow on a sidewalk by a brick building. The scene includes a leafless tree on the left, two bins on the right, and detailed contrasts between black ink and white spaces to depict textures. The figures wear winter clothing, and the drawing emphasizes the cold, hard surfaces and solid construction of the urban setting.
