Artist, American, 1855 - 1926

The image shows a tall clock tower in an urban setting. The tower dominates the composition, with buildings and a bustling street in the foreground. Architectural details are visible, including shops with signs that read "TABAC" and partial letters over an entrance. Loose and fluid brushstrokes create a sense of movement. The color palette is muted with browns, beiges, and greys, accented by occasional touches of blue and red. The sky above appears overcast with soft brushwork indicating a cloudy day.
