Artist, American, 1905 - 1984

The image shows a nighttime urban street scene from a street-level perspective. There are buildings on the left side of the image with rectangular windows and entrances. In the distance are silhouettes of buildings, including one with spires. The scene is dimly lit by a street lamp, and a person is walking on the sidewalk. The artwork uses detailed brushstrokes or an etching technique to convey a night setting with a monochromatic color palette of dark grays and blacks.
