Study for Cape Cod Evening
1939

Sketch on tan paper depicting a rough outline of a street scene with trees and a building facade with columns. The drawing is executed with loose, expressive lines, suggesting movement and a quick capture of the scene. There are figures suggested in front of the building, and the sketch includes some shading to indicate form and depth.
