The Avenue is a 1918 by William George Reindel, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy city street with lots of tiny people walking and cars driving. Buildings line both sides, drawn in quick, loose lines. A few streetlights stand tall, and the scene feels crowded but alive. The artist used only black lines on a light background, making everything look simple but full of movement. It’s like a fast snapshot of a city in action. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
