t's skyscraper city in booming 1918 Manhattan. In the present work, the
artist depicts a simultaneous interior and exterior view.
Perhaps,
it's based on Coleman's painting "The Mirror" 1927. Whitney Museum of
American Art, I am dating this work Circa 1928. There is new skyscraper
construction in this work and a greater density of building clustered.
The condition is good. There is scattered light craquelure. A layer of
old varnish is dulling the color. A light cleaning will make the work
lighter and pop. Presently, the work comes off looking a bit dark in
natural indoor lighting. It's best viewed best when illuminated with a
direct top key light to bring out detail in the shadow areas of the
painting. Work is framed
