Design for set "Jericho" from "Green Pastures"

c. 1935

A painting featuring a monochromatic landscape with a central conical structure resembling a tower or stupa, surrounded by block-like buildings, possibly ruins, against a backdrop of a warm, earth-toned wash. The scene is suggestive of an ancient or historical setting. There are visible brush strokes and areas of the canvas left blank, with the number "6x834" handwritten in the bottom margin.
