About this work

This picture shows a busy city street with a large, pale building in the background. A woman in a long dress and hat walks with a child, holding a striped umbrella. Nearby, another person in an orange coat and hat walks ahead. A double-decker bus with red flowers on top and a flagpole with a flag are also visible. The text at the bottom says "New York Public Library," so this is likely a view of that building. The scene looks like a typical day in a city with people going about their business.
