Harry Mann Waddell

National Gallery of Art

There are three rectangular drawings of wood grain samples arranged in a grid format. The wood grains show various textures and patterns. The color palette consists of warm and earthy tones, with shades of brown and beige as well as hints of yellow and gray. The first sample on the top left is labeled "WARM SEPIA NO. 1" and is to the left of the second sample, labeled "WASH OF RAW SIENNA NO. 2," which is in the top right. Below these, the third sample, labeled "WARM SEPIA - RAW SIENNA - IVORY BLACK NO. 3," is located on the bottom left. Instructions and notes are written near the top and right side of the samples, including a signature at the bottom right.
