Artist, American, 1910 - 1997

The image shows a waterfront pathway lined with buildings. The perspective leads the eye towards a vanishing point where the path and structures diminish in size. The style is reminiscent of a woodcut, with bold lines and high contrast. Small boats are docked, and two figures are walking along the path. Stairs lead further back amidst the buildings. The color scheme is primarily black and cream, enhancing the detailed line work.
