Artist, American, 1907 - 1991

The image shows a street level view of a bridge or elevated pathway stretching across the scene. The horizon is low, marked by the structure. The brushstrokes are rough and expressive, with dark, heavy textures. The color palette is black, grey, and white. Figures with umbrellas are seen on a wet street. In the distance, more figures are under awnings, including a "BAKER" sign. The sky is cloudy, adding to the somber mood.
