Kalamian Walton

Artist, American, active c. 1935

This is a drawing of an architectural detail. The image shows two main elements: a detailed, ornate square design at the top center and a more basic outline of the same square just below it. The detailed square is richly decorated with what appear to be floral and geometric motifs. The outline below retains the structural framework without the embellishments. The clean, minimalistic background highlights these elements.
