Broadcasting Station is a 1926 ink by George Overbury Hart, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people sitting close together on a rough wooden bench. The background looks like a brick wall with a window, but it’s drawn in a loose, sketchy way. Their faces are blurred, and their clothes are simple, with one wearing a hat. The artist used a mix of dark and light lines to create texture, almost like scratching into the paper. The rough edges and uneven marks give it a raw, unfinished feel. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use acid and ink to make prints like this.
George Overbury Hart (1923–1923) was an artist.
