Muirhead Bone

Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The sketch shows an elevated view of a busy scene around a tall obelisk monument. The horizon is not clearly defined, with the monument dominating the vertical space. The technique involves delicate pencil strokes capturing a crowd and horse-drawn carriages. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of gray on a light background. Closest are clusters of figures and carriages, with more people in the distance.
