Sir Muirhead Bone

Associated Names
Muirhead Bone

Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The image shows a scene of an excavation or construction site viewed from its edge. Buildings are seen in the distance with rough, impressionistic brushstrokes defining their facades. The horizon, defined by the buildings' tops, is not clearly visible. Closest to us, a horse and cart are visible, along with a worker. The color palette is primarily monochromatic, using shades of gray and black on a creamy paper background, creating a vintage, hand-drawn quality.
