The Arch
c. 1927

A painting depicting a view of Washington Square Arch in New York City with surrounding buildings and a trolley car on the right. The scene is rendered in a stylized manner with muted colors and distinct, simplified forms. Leafless trees line the foreground, and a solitary figure is visible on the path to the left of the arch.
