Artist, American, born 1948

The image shows an aerial view of an urban setting at night. Buildings and skyscrapers create silhouettes against a hazy sky. A bridge with streetlights is visible on the left side. The scene appears to have a smooth application of tones with a monochromatic color palette of black, gray, and white. Closer details show shadows, architectural elements, wet streets, and parked cars illuminated by streetlights.
