Description:
Four sketches, ink and graphite on board, for a six-panel mural frieze designed for Catharine Lorillard Wolfe as a room decoration for Vinland, her Scandinavian-style house at Newport, Rhode Island. The theme was taken from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Skeleton in Armour," which was inspired by Longfellow's viewing of an ancient stone tower in Newport.
