Artist, American, 1895 - 1941

This image shows a cityscape viewed from the water, with an elevated horizon dominated by skyscrapers and towers of various architectural styles. The detailed, fine line work highlights the buildings' textures and outlines. The monochromatic scene uses varying shades of sepia. A large ship labeled "EG" and a smaller vessel are on the water. The water's surface is subtly depicted with sparse linework, reflecting the cityscape.
