Artist, American, 1871 - 1951

The image shows a tall, multi-story structure. The buildings dominate the scene, aligned along the upper portion of the composition. A cluster of trees is visible below the structure. The drawing is executed with loose brushstrokes, in a monochromatic palette of reddish-brown. Below the buildings, there are rounded, bushy trees and abstract forms that could represent additional structures. The scene blends architecture with natural elements, leading the eye from the top of the buildings downward to the base.
