Curatorial RemarksThis is a composition drawing for NCW 786, an advertising image for the Coca-Cola Company. A lantern slide made from the drawing exists (NCWS.95.1825.211, Brandywine River Museum of Art), used by the artist in the transfer of the design from paper to canvas. The caption below the image documents an early title for the work.
