Artist, American, 1878 - 1919

The image shows the view through the Washington Arch at twilight in winter. The arch is depicted in a warm tone with detailed carvings, standing out in the composition. A woman in a brown coat and colorful hat is walking towards the viewer, with a horse-drawn cart passing under the arch. In the distance, a building with a tall tower and a lit beacon is visible against a peach-colored sky. The brushstrokes give a sense of fluidity, and the color palette includes cool blues and grays for the snow and arch, contrasting with the warm tones of the sunset.
