"St. Botolph Street" is a 1922 oil painting by American artist George Luks. The painting depicts a group of women sitting on the steps of a building in a dimly lit setting, suggesting a nighttime scene. The use of strong contrasts between light and dark and the loose brushwork are characteristic of Luks' style, which is often associated with Ashcan School of painting. The painting captures a moment of everyday life in New York City, a subject that Luks explored frequently throughout his career. This oil on canvas measures 76.84 x 63.5 cm and is housed in a private collection.
