This etching, "15th and Market Streets," was created by Salvatore Pinto, an American artist born in 1905 and known for his depictions of urban life. The artwork captures a bustling city scene, showcasing the iconic Philadelphia City Hall, a towering structure with its iconic dome, as the focal point of the composition. Pinto's skillful use of line creates a sense of depth and movement, showcasing a snapshot of everyday life in the bustling intersection of 15th and Market Streets, likely in the 1930s or 1940s. The detailed rendering of the street scene, including the pedestrians, cars, and streetlights, contributes to the artwork's realism and historical significance.
