Trucks [recto]

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

Three vintage trucks are displayed in the image. Each truck is portrayed from the front, with early 20th-century designs featuring notable grilles and rounded headlights. The trucks are shown with coverings on their cargo areas and pencil shading is used to create depth and texture. Some parts of the drawing are more detailed than others, emphasizing specific features such as the grilles and shadows from the tarps.
