Artist, American, born Sweden, 1878 - 1955

The image shows an urban scene with a tall skyscraper to the left. Beside it, there is a domed building with trees in front. The composition is dominated by the skyscraper's height, with no clear horizon. The artwork is created using an etching technique with detailed linework and shading, using a monochromatic color scheme of black, gray, and white. In the background, other buildings are depicted with softer strokes, creating a cityscape backdrop focused on the skyscraper.
