Madison Square
1901

A vibrant watercolor painting depicting a bustling street scene with people carrying umbrellas, a horse-drawn carriage, and buildings with signage, including one that reads "BUFFALO NY." The style is impressionistic, with lively brushstrokes capturing the movement and atmosphere of a rainy day in an urban setting.
