About this work

This drawing looks like a rough sketch of a building. The lines are dark and scratchy, almost like someone doodled fast. Shapes overlap in odd ways—some look like windows, others like stairs or walls. The whole thing is inside a big circle. The artist used a soft crayon, pressing hard in some spots. The paper shows through in lighter areas, making it feel unfinished. It’s not a clear picture of anything real. Check out Fritz Glarner for more work like this.
