In the Salvage Depot at St. Pierre

A large interior hall with tall windows and columns, where workers in long dark coats sort heaps of material on the floor and at tables. Two figures pull a wheeled cart near a stacked pile in the foreground. The scene is drawn in charcoal and watercolor on paper, with a pale wash of color and soft shading.
