Mildred McMillen

House Tops
1918

Black and white print depicting a stylized, angular view of a dense residential area with multiple houses. The houses have sharp, geometric shapes and are tightly packed, with a focus on rooftops, windows, and staircases. In the foreground, a figure appears to be hanging laundry on a line. The artwork has a strong contrast between light and shadow, creating a dynamic and somewhat abstract representation of an urban neighborhood. The artist's signature and the year 1925 are visible in the lower right corner.
