This pencil drawing represents a bust-length portrait of violinist facing left. He is holding the neck of his violin with his left hand and his bow in his right.
This image is created with black ink on white paper. It represents three partially stuccoed brick buildings. The buildings have sustained some damage, with the building at the front left having a hole in one of its brick corners and the building at the front right being partially boarded up at the side. In front of the buildings is some foliage and a tree stands above the upper left of the buildings. A house located behind the buildings can be seen in the lower right.
View of Crosby's Opera House, a five-story Italianate palace with a mansard roof, located on the north side of Washington Street between State and Dearborn in the city of Chicago. Here it is seen from a point on State Street, looking northwest. The street in front of the opera house—filled with people, horse-drawn carriages, and dogs—bustles with activity. A large tree, perhaps an oak, dominates the foreground at left of center.
