A striking black-and-white drawing of the Griffith Observatory’s west tower captures the building’s iconic Art Deco silhouette with crisp contrasts and careful line work; deep inks define the tower’s rounded dome and stepped cornices while subtle hatching and washes suggest the play of sunlight and shadow across textured stone, giving the piece a timeless, almost photographic clarity that emphasizes architectural detail without losing the atmosphere of the surrounding sky.
