Ilse Bing

Untitled (Battery with Statue of Liberty, NY)
1936

A black and white photograph depicting a calm sea in the foreground with several ships scattered across the water. In the distance, a hazy skyline of a city is barely visible through what appears to be mist or smog. The photo has a vintage quality, and there is a signature on the bottom left corner that reads "Ilse Bing 1936."
