The Man at the Crossroads 1924

"The Man at the Crossroads" (1924) by Dean Cornwell depicts a sailor holding an umbrella, possibly in a foreign port, gazing at a woman dressed in vibrant traditional attire. The composition, with the figures separated by crumbling walls, suggests a moment of encounter and potential romance. Cornwell, known for his illustration work in magazines, captures a sense of exoticism and intrigue in this painting. The use of bold colors and light creates a captivating and dramatic scene.
