Study for Corn Belt City
1946–1947

A charcoal sketch on paper depicting an urban scene with buildings in the background and a bridge to the left. In the foreground, there's a figure of two people standing near a structure with a large window, possibly a storefront. The sky is streaked with horizontal lines, suggesting clouds or movement. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
