About this work

This is a black-and-white photo-style image of a two-story brick building under construction. The front has a porch with columns and big windows. A horse-drawn wagon sits in the foreground, with a person sitting on it. Debris and tools are scattered around, and a statue of a person is being worked on to the right. The building’s name, "John Stewart Store," is carved into the brick above the porch. This image looks like an early photograph, not a painting—it’s grainy and flat.
