James Castle

(Interior with Stove)
c. 1910–1977

A sepia-toned sketch depicting an interior view of a room with exposed beams on the ceiling and a large, framed opening at the far end. The perspective is drawn from the room's corner, with the right wall partially visible and a chair sketched in loosely on the right side. The drawing has a rough, unfinished quality, with visible strokes and shading that suggest depth and texture.
