Evening Snow is a 1921 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy street at night, covered in snow. People in heavy coats walk quickly, some carrying bags or pulling children. A horse-drawn carriage sits in the background, its lantern glowing faintly. The scene feels cold and rushed, with dark shapes against a lighter sky. The artist used quick, rough lines to show movement and mood—no small details. The snow looks like smudged pencil marks, blending into the street. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
