About the Item
*These are difficult to photograph!*
An oil painting of a figure strolling down Sag Harbor sidewalk at night. The local liquor store's neon sign illuminates the scene, casting a vibrant red light. A streetlight glows a cool yellow, illuminating the American Flag hanging beside it. Another streetlight glows a warmer orange in the distance. The Windmill adorned with string-lights can be seen faintly in the distance.
Signed "C.Bretzke" lower left, recto.
Framed in a traditional black frame with gold inner trim.
