Crowd on a Street at Coney Island
c. 1928

A vibrant oil painting depicting a lively street scene with a crowd of people. Some individuals are dancing in the foreground, with a woman in a red dress and a man in a white shirt taking center stage. Others are watching or engaged in conversations. The attire suggests an earlier time period, possibly the early to mid-20th century. The background hints at a festive atmosphere with lights and possibly a fair or public event. The brushwork is expressive, adding a sense of movement and energy to the scene.
