The Metropolitan Tower on A Summer Evening is a 1914 ink by Rachael Robinson Elmer, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a tall building glowing with warm yellow lights at night. Trees with dark green leaves and pink flowers stand in front, while a horse-drawn carriage rolls along a street below. The sky is a soft blue, and smaller buildings fade into the distance. The title says it’s the Metropolitan Tower, lit up after sunset. The artist used a flat, simple style to show both nature and city life together. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
