Artist, American, 1874 - 1958

This is a drawing of shadowy figures in an urban setting. The scene shows contrasting light and shadow. A silhouette stands under a structure with a wooden beam and stairs visible to the right. The background features a cityscape with tall buildings and lamp posts against a cloudy sky. The drawing uses dark shading and cross-hatching, creating a somber, mysterious mood. It captures a sense of loneliness in a busy city.
