Milwaukee looks older in this drawing than almost any American city here. Onion domes, turrets and a steep gabled tower give it a European roofline, and the one modern slab stands well back from all of it.

What is in the drawing

Small arcaded buildings open the left, then an onion dome rises on a square base with a finial on top. A turreted hall follows, its roof pointed at both ends and its front drawn as two rows of loops. The center is the tallest and the most ornate: a steep gabled tower crowned with a row of pointed finials, standing over a scalloped base. Beside it a second tower carries a smaller onion dome, and a plain flat slab rises behind. The right end runs low across a wide hall and finishes on a slim spire.

Who buys it

Milwaukee is bought by people who are fond of how little it has changed, and the drawing agrees with them. Every ornate roofline in it is real, which is not something you can say of a generic skyline print.

Mug or canvas

At 2.09 it sits just inside the mug band, so it wraps almost the full way with a narrow gap rather than meeting itself. Coverage is a touch above average and the detail is unusually fine, since finials, turrets and two onion domes are all small shapes rather than large masses. That is the argument for size here: this is the drawing in the batch that gains the most from the larger canvases, because the ornament is where the whole character sits.
