Tiergartenallee mit Siegessäule 1925

Lesser Ury's 1925 pastel drawing "Tiergartenallee mit Siegessäule" depicts a street scene in Berlin, Germany, featuring the iconic Victory Column (Siegessäule) in the distance. The composition, featuring a long, linear perspective, showcases the grandeur of the boulevard lined with trees, while the addition of a few automobiles suggests the changing cityscape of the early 20th century. Ury's use of soft, muted colors creates a sense of tranquility and subtly captures the fleeting beauty of an urban scene. This work is a prime example of the artist's signature style, known for its atmospheric portrayals of cityscapes and urban landscapes.
