Artist, American, 1889 - 1964

The image displays a black and white sketch of a street scene. The perspective is slightly diagonal, leading towards a large arched building in the distance. The architecture dominates the composition with crosshatched shading, obscuring the horizon. A "ONE-WAY" sign with a left-pointing arrow is near us on a pedestal by a cobbled and hexagon-patterned street. The surroundings consist of modern urban architecture, with shadows and light creating contrast and emphasizing the linework and forms.
