Three AM: A Corner by Madison Avenue (also known as 2 AM New York and Metropolis)

Christopher Nevinson

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a city street at night. The scene depicts a street corner with tall buildings on the right and center. The building in the center is large, with a flat top and a protruding section on the right side. It has many windows and appears to be several stories high. There are trees along the street, some with bare branches. People are walking on the sidewalk and in the street. The sky is dark, and there are lights shining from the buildings and street. The overall atmosphere suggests a busy urban environment at night. The image is rendered in a sketch-like style with visible lines and shading.
