Grant's Tomb is a 1916 by Rachael Robinson Elmer, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a bright, blocky scene with bold colors. A round building with columns sits on a hill, glowing yellow and white. Below it, a winding road cuts through green trees and bushes. The sky is a flat blue, and a few people are scattered near the road, tiny against the landscape. The words "GRANT'S TOMB" are printed in thick, dark letters at the bottom. The painting uses sharp, flat colors and clean lines, almost like a woodcut. The artist cut out shapes from a material to make this style—it’s called *lincocut*. This technique makes the colors pop and the edges look crisp. Next, check out the technique: lincocut.
