Hudson Navigation Boat
1927

A painting depicting a moored steamboat with a prominent smokestack emitting a plume of smoke, set against a backdrop of a suspension bridge and a cloudy sky. The foreground shows wooden docks and a warehouse, while the middle ground reveals a glimpse of a green landscape with red-roofed buildings. The water reflects the boat and structures, creating a serene yet industrial scene.
