New York c. 1938

"New York" is a candid black and white photograph by American photographer Helen Levitt, taken around 1938. The image captures a group of children and an adult looking out of a window, creating an intimate moment of everyday life in the city. The children are arranged in a staggered, almost playful way, their expressions ranging from pensive to curious, drawing the viewer into their world. The photograph reflects Levitt’s signature style of street photography, known for its honesty and observation of everyday life.
