Crowd Watching a Steam Shovel at Work, Oil Painting
A crowd of men in work clothes and hats stands on wooden steps at the lower right, watching a large steam shovel lift a load of rubble above a dirt lot. A small truck, a white building, and a dog at the bottom edge complete the scene. The flat, simplified forms and dark outlines suggest an American Scene style painted in oil on fiberboard.
