About this work
Overview
The Deserted Pigpen; and West Hurley is a graphite drawing on wove paper created by Andrew Fisher Bunner in 1866.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing comprises two simple scenes: a crumbling stone wall with a wooden shed, and a lone tree with a tiny cabin in a grassy field. The titles of the scenes are inscribed on the paper.
Technique & Style
Executed in light, quick lines, the drawing appears to be a spontaneous sketch from nature. The artist's hand is evident in the direct and unadorned rendering of the scenes.
