Woolworth Building June Night is a 1916 by Rachael Robinson Elmer, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a tall building glowing in the dark. The Woolworth Building stands out with its bright windows and sharp edges. Below, a few streetlights and small shapes suggest a quiet city street at night. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to make the building stand out. The dark background makes the lights pop, almost like a spotlight. Look up Elmer, Rachael Robinson to see how she used this style in other work.
