Harbor Traffic
1940

A vintage black and white sketch depicting a bustling harbor scene with various ships and boats, including a prominent steam tugboat in the foreground. The background features a city skyline with indistinct buildings, while a large, detailed building looms on the left. Overhead, a dramatic sky is filled with clouds and a flock of birds in flight. The artwork is signed and dated in the upper right corner.
