Abandoned Stone Dwelling (c. 1970) Graphite on Paper, Signed
Description:
This graphite drawing exemplifies the Brandywine School tradition, capturing an abandoned stone structure—possibly a former home or barn—with meticulous attention to texture and form. The artist employs precise, sensitive line work to render:
- Weather-worn stone masonry
- Architectural details suggesting rural vernacular design
- A haunting, atmospheric quality characteristic of the region's realist tradition
The composition recalls Andrew Wyeth's thematic preoccupations with decay and memory in the Pennsylvania landscape. Signed in the lower right corner.
Condition:
- Housed under archival black core matting and glass in a dark grey frame
- Minor age toning to mat board
- Paper surface remains stable
Materials:
Graphite on heavy wove paper
Dimensions:
17.8 x 14.75 inches (45.2 x 37.5 cm)
Historical Context:
Created circa 1970 during the late period of the Brandywine School's influence, this work continues the tradition of American realism practiced by N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, and their successors. The subject matter reflects the region's disappearing rural architecture.
