Jerome Myers

Summer Night, East Side Park
1919

A nocturnal oil painting depicting a group of people in various states of rest and activity under a moonlit sky. Some figures are lying on the ground, seemingly asleep, while others are sitting or standing in small groups. A prominent figure in a green shawl holds a child, surrounded by other individuals in a central gathering. The scene is illuminated by a soft, eerie glow, suggesting a sense of intimacy and quietude amidst the darkness. The artist's signature, "Jerome Myers," is visible in the lower left corner.
