Abraham Harriton

New York Water Front
1936

A painting depicting four individuals in an outdoor setting with makeshift surroundings. Two men are seated at a table covered with a red and white patterned cloth, appearing to be engaged in a game or conversation. A third man stands by a barrel with flames leaping out, warming his hands, while a fourth man, also standing, observes the seated pair. The environment suggests an informal, possibly impromptu gathering spot, with a tarp or cloth serving as a shelter wall and industrial elements in the background. The artist's signature and the year '98 are visible in the top right corner.
