Artist, British, 1878 - 1960

This is a drawing of a figure standing inside an industrial structure near the water. The scene captures a dimly lit interior with wooden floors and beams. The light from the outside filters through gaps in the structure, highlighting the floorboards and creating a pattern of shadows. The figure stands facing the open side. The drawing uses strong contrast with bold black lines defining the structure and the human form, while lighter areas provide a sense of depth and openness.
