City Scene 1940

"City Scene" is a 1940 etching by American artist Earl Horter (1881-1940). The artwork, likely a depiction of a bustling urban environment, is rendered in a stark, expressive style. The composition is dominated by a towering building, its mass emphasized through thick, gestural lines. The use of light and shadow adds depth and a sense of atmosphere, highlighting the gritty reality of city life. The etching's small dimensions, 165 x 155 mm, contribute to its intimate and personal feel.
