Artist, (probably American)

The image displays an aerial view of a cityscape with a body of water surrounded by foliage in the center. Detailed brushstrokes create texture in the trees and cars, using shading for depth. The artwork has a monochromatic color palette of black, white, and gray. A rooftop terrace, vintage cars, a tram, people on the sidewalk, and a building with a sign reading "CAFE DE LA PAIX" are visible.
