Houses at Beach No. 2 c. 1935 - 1943

Jennie Lewis's "Houses at Beach No. 2" (c. 1935-1943) is a pencil drawing that captures the essence of a suburban neighborhood. This realistic depiction of a row of houses with a fence in the foreground and a backdrop of trees, power lines, and a glimpse of the sky, is a testament to Lewis's keen eye for detail and her ability to convey a sense of place. The artist's use of simple lines and shading creates a sense of depth and perspective. This drawing, created in the years before her death in 1944, showcases Lewis's continued interest in the everyday scenes of life.
