Description
Sandzen did similar drawings between 1911 and 1914. After 1916 he abandoned doing large drawings, such as this, doing his block prints and lithographs instead. This rare completed drawing is from the collection of artist Gustave Baumann who, together with Nordfeldt and Marsden Hartley met Sandzen in Santa Fe in 1919. It is probable that Baumann got this drawing then.
