Artist, American, 1916 - 1983

The image shows a wintry city scene from a slightly elevated position. The horizon is high, partially obscured by a snow-covered building. The artist uses soft and defined strokes with a stippling technique for texture and depth. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of grey and black, emphasized by white areas representing snow. The scene includes horse-drawn carriages, figures walking on a snow-covered street, trees, and lampposts. In the distance is a large building with a clock tower, under a softly shaded sky.
