This drawing is a study for the mural Victory of Light Over Darkness, completed in 1940, which commemorates the Labor Movement following the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. The mural survives and is located at The High School of Fashion Industries (formerly the Central High School of Needle Trades), NY. The building was constructed under the New Deal.
