Artist, American, 1857 - 1926

The image depicts a rainy street scene from a bird's-eye view. Buildings line the street, and the brushstrokes are soft and impressionistic, capturing the effect of rain and wet surfaces with blurred outlines. The color palette consists of muted browns and warm tones. People with umbrellas and horse-drawn carriages are shown, and in the distance, there are more figures and a large tree, with streetlights illuminating the scene.
