In the Park c. 1939

"In the Park," a 1939 lithograph by Joseph Rollo (1904-2001), portrays a woman in a park, perhaps Central Park in New York City, as depicted by the skyline in the background. The woman, dressed in a hat and long dress, sits reading as two pairs of rowboats glide across the water. Rollo’s signature use of fine lines creates a sense of tranquility and intimacy.
