“East River Scene” by American painter Elias Ben Delman gives us smoke-spewing tugboats, murky blue-gray water, and a Manhattan skyline that seems obscure and awfully far away.
This painting has something subdued yet magical going on. I wish I knew more about the artist and the scene he chose to depict.

Yes must be a secluded private painter. His biography doesn’t say much at all.

That’s a great one too. The East River inspires a lot of painters:
