When I was living in New York in the mid-eighties, in the rooftop penthouse of a funky little hotel on 27th Street off Broadway, I drew its fireplace and put a Piranesi-like fantasy into its firebox.
Legend has it that Stanford White, the most influential architect in New York at the end of the 19th century, once hung out there with his reputed mistress Evelyn Nesbit, whose legally insane husband eventually murdered White. Now you know why I thought it appropriate to put those dark tunnels into my fireplace!
The drawing is on very heavy rather toothy white paper. Sorry, I don't remember what brand and there's no watermark.
I hid my signature right up under the mantel. I'm showing you a detail.
It's unframed, so it's easy to ship in a tube, and you can present it on your wall in whatever frame you want!
