JACOB LAWRENCE (1917 - 2000)
Untitled (Street Scene).

Brush and ink drawing on wove paper, 1959. 570x383 mm; 22 1/2x15 1/2 inches. Partial Whatman 1954 watermark. Signed and dated in ink, lower left.

Provenance: private collection, Pennsylvania.

This drawing appears closely related to the tempera painting Harlem Street Scene from the same year, in the artist's catalogue raisonné. Both share a composition with the same steps and doorway but with different figures. See Nesbett P59-03.
