The artist of this drawing is Lyonel Feininger. He may have drawn this because of all of the oppression which occurred towards Jews in Germany while he lived there. Perhaps Feininger thought that this is the path that the world was going towards. The drawing portrays the world after the apocalypse. There is seemingly no life in a city which connects well to the novel. In the novel the boy asks his father how many people he thinks are alive which shows that both the book and the drawing touch upon the lack of life on earth.
Nice work John!
