Artist, American, 1919 - 1993

This is a drawing of a street scene at night. It depicts a street light illuminating a sidewalk with a refuse container and scattered debris. In the background are tall buildings under a night sky. The scene conveys a sense of solitude and urban quiet introspection, accentuated by shadows and highlights for a noir aesthetic.
