About this work

This image shows a tall building framed by trees on both sides. In the foreground, a body of water reflects the greenery and sky, with two swans swimming calmly. The colors are soft—blues, greens, and muted yellows—giving a peaceful, slightly dreamy feel. The title at the bottom reads *"Hotel Plaza from Central Park"*, hinting this is a city view through nature. The artist’s name, Rachael Robinson Elmer, is signed in the corner, and the whole piece looks like it was printed quickly, almost like a postcard. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists use this printing method.
