Study for Macomb's Dam Bridge
1935

A detailed pencil sketch of a complex bridge structure with annotations indicating color notes such as "smoke grey" and "pale grey green." The bridge features a prominent truss design and is accompanied by a smaller arched bridge in the background. The foreground shows a riverbank and a few indistinct figures, with additional scribbled notes and signatures at the bottom.
