Architectural Study for High Yaller
c. 1934

A sketch on aged, yellowed paper featuring geometric architectural elements and the faint outline of a human figure. The drawing includes a staircase, pedestals, and spherical objects atop the pedestals, with perspective lines suggesting depth. The human figure appears to be ascending the stairs. There are additional sketches of geometric shapes and stairs to the right, and the paper has torn edges on the right side.
