Charles Basin Motif #1 1936

Donald Carlisle Greason's "Charles Basin Motif #1" is a 1936 ink drawing that depicts a cityscape across a body of water. The composition focuses on the industrial architecture, perhaps factories or power plants, with the horizon cutting through the scene. A lone figure in a small boat adds a sense of scale and solitude to the scene, highlighting the contrast between nature and human industry. This drawing is likely a preliminary study for a larger artwork and offers a glimpse into Greason's artistic process and his interest in urban landscapes.
