White Tower Hamburger
1945

A monochromatic watercolor painting depicting a bustling urban street scene with pedestrians. In the foreground, a group of men in coats and hats converse, while a lone figure wrapped in a coat walks towards the viewer. The background features the signage "WHITE TOWER HAMBURGER" and other city elements like street signs and lampposts. The artwork captures a moment of everyday life with a sense of movement and depth, highlighted by the play of light and shadow.
