J.D. Crace

This artist made a single surviving drawing on 26 November 1892, untitled and done in pencil or ink. The sheet shows a few pencil lines that sketch a London rooftop scene in winter, bare chimneys, slate roofs, and a faint wash of grey sky. There’s no movement tag, no recorded contemporaries, just this one fragile sheet of paper.

Tap the drawing’s date to zoom in on the rooftops and see how the artist used spare marks to suggest cold and distance.
