Artist, American, 1909 - 1966

The image depicts a street scene viewed from an elevated angle, showing a street corner and nearby buildings on a rainy night. A figure sits on a curb adjacent to a mail collection box on the left, while a lamppost on the right casts light on the wet pavement. "BAKE SHOP" and "FLOORS" signs are visible on shops across the street. The artwork's pencil or charcoal medium creates a textured appearance, enhancing the mood of the image with a grayscale palette.
