Black Sculptural Cask

Black Sculptural Cask | Drawing | Wisconsin Historical Society
Black ink drawing on tissue paper of a sculptural cask at The House on the Rock, similar to those made by Alex Jordan. The sculpture is sitting on a pedestal center to the composition, flanked on the right by the leaves or flowers of a plant branch, likely a cedar tree. The background is an abstract linear representation of the major architectural elements of this site, showing the canted windows, with their individual glass panes in the lower left, and structural wood beams above.
