About this work

This sketch shows three long, narrow rectangles packed with tiny circles in bright colors—reds, blues, yellows, greens. They sit on a grassy line with two bare trees behind them, drawn in quick, loose strokes. The paper has a yellowish tint, and the lines look hand-drawn, almost like a quick note. The circles are all the same size but different colors, arranged in neat rows. At the bottom, there’s a scribbled note about a project for "Riverside Park" and measurements in feet. This looks like a plan for wrapping something big in fabric. Try looking up stippling.
