Artist, American, 1916 - 2014

The image shows an urban street scene with tall apartment buildings, an elevated train track casting shadows, and a cobblestone street. The buildings have intricate brickwork and fire escapes, and the black and white color scheme emphasizes contrasts. Pedestrians and vehicles are present, and the cobblestones add to the historic feel.
