Balcony Railings c. 1936

"Balcony Railings" is a drawing by American artist Arelia Arbo, created around 1936. The artwork, measuring 52.1 x 27.5 cm, captures a detailed perspective of a building facade adorned with ornate railings and shuttered windows. The architectural elements are rendered with precise lines, creating a sense of depth and volume, characteristic of Arbo's style. The subject matter, a commonplace urban scene, underscores Arbo's focus on everyday details and the beauty found in the ordinary. The artwork's monochrome palette, with its subtle variations in shading, enhances the visual texture of the building's surface.
