Provincetown Wharf
1932

A painting depicting a group of people on a seaside promenade under a cloudy sky. In the foreground, three women in red dresses and a man in a white apron and cap appear to be engaged in a lively conversation. A young girl in a bathing suit holds the hand of one of the women, while another child in a blue suit plays with a toy boat. In the background, sailboats dot the blue sea, and a steamship is visible near the horizon. The artist's signature is in the lower left corner.
