Fifth Avenue at Twilight is a 1910 oil by L. Birge Harrison, a American Impressionism work, held at Detroit Institute of Arts.
The painting, Fifth Avenue at Twilight, depicts a city street scene at dusk. The street is lined with tall buildings and trees, and the sky is a deep blue with hints of purple and pink. The streetlights are on, casting a warm glow over the scene. In the foreground, the trees and buildings are silhouetted against the sky, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the mood of the scene, from the cool blues and purples of the sky to the warm yellows and oranges of the streetlights.
