Subway Stairs
n.d.

A painting depicting a crowded staircase with people ascending, rendered in an impressionistic style. The figures are shown from behind, with a focus on one individual in a light coat and hat who is descending the stairs and looking towards the viewer. The environment suggests an urban setting with a muted color palette, and the artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
