Central Park

c. 1920

A sketch of a park scene with dense, roughly drawn trees and foliage. In the background, there are outlines of what appear to be hills or large rock formations. A body of water is visible in the midground with a small structure or boat near the shore. The foreground features a lightly sketched open area that could be a field or lawn. The artist's signature and the words "CENTRAL PARK & HOPPER" are inscribed at the bottom right.
