Title:

Interior perspective of the living room for the American System Ready-Cut House model C3

Date:

1911-1916

Description:

- This drawing is an incomplete design identified by the more finished woodcut print reproduced in Drexler (plate 52) as model C3. While the bookshelves, cupboards, and drawers, and the table and chair are drawn to near-completion, the top right area of the drawing is unfinished. Drawn in two-point perspective, the strong diagonals and flat areas recall the influence of Japanese prints.
