Street Scene 1935 - 1942

"Street Scene" is an anonymous watercolor painting depicting a street scene with a tree in the foreground and buildings in the background, created sometime between 1935 and 1942. The artist uses muted tones to create a sense of calm and solitude in the city, with a lone tree in the middle of the scene providing a sense of life and tranquility. The watercolor's intimate size, at 30.4 x 22.9 centimeters, suggests that it was likely created as a personal study of a city scene rather than a large-scale work for public display. The anonymity of the artist adds to the mystery of the work, leaving viewers to ponder the artist's perspective and the story behind this quiet urban moment.
