Rainy Day, Queens
1931

A black and white etching depicting a rainy city street scene with vintage cars parked along the curb and a few driving on the road. In the foreground, three figures with umbrellas, one adult and two children, are walking on the wet sidewalk. The street is lined with uniform buildings, and a classic street lamp is visible. The reflections on the wet pavement add to the atmosphere of a bygone era. The artist's signature is in the lower right corner.
