Striking original coloured pencil drawing by American artist Abraham Harriton (1893–1986) depicting the monumental Gothic arches of the Brooklyn Bridge. Executed with confident, energetic lines, the composition captures the soaring architecture of the bridge through a network of radiating perspective lines. Subtle earth tones and graphite-like pencil work lend the drawing both warmth and a sense of movement, emphasizing Harriton's modernist approach to architectural subjects.
Born in 1893 in Bucharest, Romania, Harriton studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City from 1908 until 1915. This drawing may date from that period.
Elegantly framed (13.5" x 10.5") and ready to hang, this expressive work makes an exceptional addition to a collection of American art, New York imagery, or architectural drawings. Signed lower left (Harriton).
