Associated Names

André Dunoyer de Segonzac

Artist, French, 1884 - 1974

The image depicts a construction site from a slightly elevated angle. The sketch uses fine, minimal lines with an etching technique, creating a textured appearance. The scene includes structures, cranes, piles of dirt, and a figure. The monochromatic color palette features variations of light and shadow. In the distance, there is an arched bridge, balanced by towering cranes and machinery. The fine strokes capture industrial activity in a quiet manner.
