Rainy Day
1932

A watercolor painting depicting a rainy urban scene with a large pinkish-red building dominating the composition. Bare trees and a wooden fence are visible in the foreground, while a figure holding a blue umbrella walks along a reflective wet street. The background features faint outlines of buildings and boats, suggesting a waterfront setting. The artist's signature is in the lower right corner.
