Dilapidated House
Anonymous, American, 19th century American
Not on view
The focus in this sketch is picturesque decay, with an eighteenth-century wooden structure atop brick foundations shown in severe disrepair. Parts of the exterior wall have fallen out to offer a partial view of the interior. Shutters are shown both closed and open, and the artist has carefully recorded a range of textures and dated the sheet precisely.
