De Chirico's the Red Tower (1913) This picture look simple and easy but it isn't that easy to draw. I don't have much done of his work in my sketchbook but I like his work and he is one of my favorite artist. He has done a lot of architectural stuffs too that is why I like him. I did draw one picture of his work in my sketchbook on page 76.
