New York Sky Line, Dark Buildings is a 1918 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a cityscape with a row of dark buildings along the bottom, set against a light-colored sky. The buildings are tall and slender, with some featuring pointed tops. In the foreground, a body of water stretches out, with a few small boats visible. The painting is rendered in a range of grays, from deep charcoal to pale mist. The overall effect is one of somberness, with the dark buildings looming large against the lighter sky.
