Associated Names

Helen Green Blumenschein

Artist, American, 1909 - 1989

The image shows a city skyline as seen from an elevated vantage point, likely from the Brooklyn Bridge. Skyscrapers dominate the background against a cloudy sky with patches of sunlight. Bridge cables cross the scene, framing the cityscape, with boats visible in the water below. Fine, detailed brushstrokes depict architectural details and bridge cables. The color palette is monochromatic, mainly gray tones.
