Description
A digital scan of an original watercolor and pastel illustration titled Washington Crown. The drawing is held as a PDF file (.pdf) and features the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, set against a dark sky in shades of purple. The building's corona is painted with varying shades of brown, with specs of white light emanating from the interior. In the middle of the image, just in front of the building, a cylindrical fountain appears almost suspended above the grass below. To the far right, the Washington Monument towers above the museum and surrounding landscape, except for a lone leafless tree in the foreground. At bottom left is [NMAAHC WASHINGTON DC.] and at bottom right is [12/16] with the artist's signature.
