Study for Frozen Custard
1939

A sketch on paper with red-orange lines depicting a lively scene at a frozen custard stand. The drawing includes multiple figures, some of which appear to be customers enjoying their treats, and others who seem to be staff behind the counter. There are signs within the drawing that read "FROZEN CUSTARD" and "National FROZEN CUSTARD." The artwork has a spontaneous and energetic quality, with some figures more defined than others. The paper shows signs of age with slight discoloration.
