"Rain by the Met" Impressionistic Ashcan School Oil Painting New York City Scene
By Cindy Shaoul
Located in New York, NY
An impressionistic depiction of people walking about near the Metropolitan Museum on a rainy day. A man walks quickly holding a briefcase, a group of woman huddled together under one umbrella; this painting goes back in time as the artist captures the style and trend of the early 20th Century with old cars parked in the distance and fashion of the people.
