Study for 24th Street Intersection
1978

A detailed pencil drawing depicting a steeply inclined street with a cross street at the top. The scene includes houses on either side, utility poles with wires, and a street sign that reads "Filbert St." on the left and "Montgomery St." on the right. The perspective is from the bottom of the hill looking upwards, emphasizing the slope of the street. The artwork captures the play of light and shadow, with the details of the architecture and the surrounding environment meticulously rendered.
