Shot Tower
1920

An etching depicting a tall, narrow tower with a pointed top surrounded by buildings, possibly in an urban setting. The sky is filled with expressive, swirling lines, suggesting a windy atmosphere. In the foreground, a figure stands near a ladder leaning against a rooftop, and another figure is seen in the distance. The artwork is signed and dated at the bottom right corner with the year 1920.
