Grant's Tomb 1916

"Grant's Tomb" is a 1916 woodcut by American artist Rachael Robinson Elmer, known for her vibrant illustrations and prints. This small-scale work, measuring 14 × 8.9 cm, depicts a simplified, yet recognizable view of the iconic New York City landmark. The composition features a towering, white neoclassical structure surrounded by verdant trees and a group of figures enjoying a leisurely stroll. Elmer's use of bold colors and flat planes, characteristic of the Post-Impressionist style, emphasizes the architectural grandeur and serene atmosphere of the scene.
