Study for "Excavation"
1926

A painting depicting an urban landscape with a vibrant blue sky. In the foreground, there's a blue bridge with its ramp raised, leading to a street lined with colorful buildings, including a prominent orange structure. A church spire rises in the background, adding a touch of gothic architecture amidst the more modern cityscape. The artwork has a textured appearance, suggesting it may have been created with pastels or a similar medium.
