Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The image shows a street-level view looking upwards at the side of a building under construction or repair. The building appears towering, with scaffolding and structure converging towards the top. There is no visible horizon, and the focus is on the building's facade and scaffolding. The detailed pencil sketch uses varying tones to depict shadows and depth. The monochrome color palette features shades of grey creating a play of light and shadow. A few people are seen at the bottom of the building, giving a sense of scale to the structure in the distance lined with scaffolding and shadows.
