Fireplace and Paneled Wall, Office of Arthur Little

late 19th–early 20th century

Not on view

Born and trained Boston, Little's designs are associated with the Colonial Revival style. This fine pen and ink drawing centers on a paneled wooden fireplace in the architect's private study. A central niche frames a landscape containing an umbrella pine, with a seaside location suggested by shells and crab motifs above. The image likely was intended to be reproduced as a printed illustration.
