Original mid-century pastel architectural study, likely created as part of an artist's sketchbook or working series.

This expressive pastel depicts an abstracted house or building rendered in muted earth tones"”ochres, soft yellows, grays, and browns"”with confident, layered mark-making. The loose, exploratory quality suggests a working study rather than a formally signed presentation piece, a style highly sought after by mid-century modern collectors and interior designers.

The artwork is unsigned, which appears intentional and consistent with sketchbook-origin pieces of the period.

Professionally framed with a wide mat, giving it a clean, gallery-ready presentation.
