Ernest Roth

Coentie's Slip, New York
1935

An etching depicting a bustling city scene with a mix of older, low-rise buildings in the foreground and towering skyscrapers in the background. The foreground shows people and horse-drawn carriages on the streets, while the background features the distinctive outlines of several high-rise buildings, suggesting a contrast between different eras within the city. The artwork is detailed, with shading and fine lines creating a sense of depth and texture. The print is mounted on a larger sheet of paper with some inscriptions at the bottom.
