Artist, American, born Switzerland, 1924 - 2019

The image shows a cityscape under a sky that appears to be either dusk or early evening. The view is from an elevated position, likely from a rooftop or high vantage point, looking at tall palm trees against the sky. The horizon is low in the image, with building tops and palm trees silhouetted against the skyline. The image has a soft, grainy texture, sitting in a monochromatic color palette of black and white. Buildings and palm tree tops are visible closer to the viewer, and in the distance, a few buildings rise, along with sparsely scattered illuminated signs.
