Fireplace and Paneled Wall, Office of Arthur Little

Arthur Little

late 19th–early 20th century · Pen and ink · Drawings and Prints

Born and trained Boston, Little's designs are associated with the Colonial Revival style. This fine pen and ink drawing centers on a paneled wooden fireplace in the architect's private study. A central niche frames a landscape containing an umbrella pine, with a seaside location suggested by shells and crab motifs above. The image likely was intended to be reproduced as a printed illustration.
