A Wintry Blast on the Stourbridge Canal

Frank Short

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white landscape drawing of a snowy scene. The scene shows a canal with a small section of water in the foreground and a snowy bank to the right. A line of trees stands on the left side of the image, with a church steeple visible behind them. Several buildings are on the right side of the image, with a tall chimney rising from one of them. The sky is gray and appears to be windy, with diagonal lines suggesting movement. The drawing is signed by Frank Short in the bottom-right corner. The title "A Wintry Blast on the Stourbridge Canal" is written in the bottom-left corner. The paper is off-white with yellowish-brown spots and darker edges.
