Study for Summer Wedding, Arthur Stewart, graphite on paper
Untitled, Alvin C. Sella, oil on canvas
This image is created with black ink on paper. It shows the side of a building. A group of people congregate outside of the buildings entrance—which is partially obscured from view—while a woman with an umbrella walks toward an open side door, in front of which two individuals stand. The two story building has an enclosed balcony on its rear half and an overhanging portico. A tree and a power pole stand between the viewer and the side of the building.
In this black and white photograph, four men use a pully system to lift a piece of metal onto part of a bridge. A portion of the lettering on the bridge can be seen on the support beam on which they stand, reading "RICAN BR."
