Comments:
Excellent condition. Good margins. Drawn on fine laid paper. Thumbtack holes at extreme margins, the product of being attached to the artists sketch board, they are well away from the image. The artist has defined the visual area of the drawing with ruled pencil lines. An early drawing of Mt. Tamalpais by this important Berkeley School artist. John Haley moved to Point Richmond, California, in 1932 and would have viewed this scene from his studio. This drawing was the obvious inspiration for the lithograph, Tamalpais, produced in 1940 and published by the San Francisco Chronicle as part of their 1940 contemporary graphics program.
