Artist, American, 1889 - 1946

This is a drawing of figures and horses with carriages in front of damaged buildings. The scene is densely occupied by figures walking and standing, along with some mounted on horses pulling carts. The background features dilapidated structures with visible cracks and partial collapses. The artwork uses a monochromatic, dark palette with a gritty texture. The figures appear weary, enhancing the atmosphere of hardship and struggle.
