Architectural Study for High Yaller
c. 1934

Pencil drawing on aged paper depicting an architectural interior, possibly a staircase with newel posts and balusters. The perspective is drawn with an eye-level horizontal line and vanishing points, indicating a study in perspective. The drawing is detailed, showing the texture of the wooden floor and the contours of the stair components. There are some faint sketches and annotations, suggesting it's a working draft.
