Artists Garret

Artists Garret

With drawings and paintings decorating the background wall; along with the essentials of bare-bones living- a large steamer trunk, kerosene heater and rocking chair- it might seem reasonable the artist used his own living space as the subject of this drawing, executed in the final year he attended the prestigious Art Academy of Cincinnati.
