23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Drawing of the Capitol

The Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., has various exhibitions. One of them shows the black and white drawings of Robert Longo, the Whale (The United States Capitol). In total, there were three drawings in the room. They are made with charcoal on seven sheets of paper mounted to aluminum. At first, I was sure it was a photo, but after reading the description, I discovered it was painted.
