The St. Moritz, New York 1934

"The St. Moritz, New York" is a 1934 print by American artist Esther Brock Bird (1879-1963), depicting a rainy night scene in New York City. The print features the famous St. Moritz Hotel, with people huddled under umbrellas as they wait for cabs or enter the establishment. The artwork’s detailed, textured rendering of the city street, with its rain-slicked surfaces and dim lighting, creates a sense of atmosphere and realism. Bird's work often explored scenes of urban life, capturing the beauty and drama of everyday moments in the city. This print is a fine example of her talent for portraying the mood and character of New York in the 1930s.
