Wall Street 1930

"Wall Street," a 1930 etching by Gottlob L. Briem, captures the grandeur of the iconic New York City street. The piece depicts towering skyscrapers in stark contrast against a cloudy sky. Briem’s meticulous use of line and shading conveys the dense urban landscape and the imposing presence of the buildings, emphasizing the verticality of the city. The subtle use of light and shadow adds a sense of depth and texture to the scene.
