Morning Reflections 1910

"Morning Reflections" (1910) by Robert Henri (1865-1929) is a depiction of a city street, likely in New York City, where Henri spent much of his career. The pastel drawing features a street with buildings on either side, rendered in soft, atmospheric hues, with a yellow-tinged sky providing a warm glow over the cityscape. The muted tones and hazy details create a sense of quiet reflection, characteristic of Henri's Ashcan School style, which focused on everyday life and urban landscapes. The figures in the foreground, though small and indistinct, add a human element to the scene, capturing a moment of everyday life in the early 20th century.
