Allied Flags, Union League Club
1917

An impressionist-style painting depicting a bustling city street scene with a row of buildings adorned with various national flags, including those of Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, among others. Below the flags, elegantly dressed pedestrians of the early 20th century stroll along the sidewalk, with a few individuals standing out in the foreground. The brushwork is loose and vibrant, capturing the dynamic atmosphere of the urban environment.
