This sketch looks like a busy cityscape drawn fast. Buildings lean and twist, some with blue roofs. A pink bridge stretches across the middle, with tiny people walking on it. Below, a boat floats on water. Lines crisscross everywhere, like a messy sketchbook page. The word "Florida" is scribbled near the top left—maybe the artist was thinking of that place. The whole thing feels loose and rough, like a quick idea jotted down. Check out Lyonel Feininger to see more of his sketchy, playful style.
