Rio opens on a figure rather than a building, which nothing else in this catalog does. Standing it on the rock at the left edge is what gives the rest of the line somewhere to run to.
What is in the drawing
The statue holds the left edge on a rocky outcrop, both arms straight out, the robe drawn in a few long strokes. A slab tower with a notched top comes next. Then the cathedral, a truncated cone crossed with diagonal bracing. A domed church sits low at the centre between thin turrets above an arcade. A leaning glass slab follows, then towers of several heights with scribbled greenery pushed up between them, and low blocks close the right.
Who buys it
Carnival trips and cruise stops account for most of it, and the statue is the only thing anybody needs to see to know the city. Brazilian families in Florida and Massachusetts buy it for the reason those trips never touch.
Mug or canvas
2.056 comes in under the ceramic proportion, so the height sets the scale. Ink at 0.112 is heavy for a line drawing and keeps the scribbled greenery reading as foliage instead of a blot. The arms of the statue set the size: from 24 by 16 on canvas they stay clear of the shoulders.
