Sixth Avenue II
1971

Illustration of a bustling city street scene with muted colors, featuring cars, traffic lights, and buildings with visible signage, including one that reads "WAVERLY." The style appears flat and somewhat abstract, with the iconic Empire State Building in the distant background.
