Colored Lithograph: "New Year's Eve"

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a street scene centered around a toy store. The artwork depicts a store window display filled with colorful toys, such as a large drum, hobby horse, and other playthings. The storefront's awning casts a shadow on the street where people are observing the window display. Buildings line the street, and an American flag is shown on a flagpole against a slightly overcast sky. The details and colors of the clothing and toys create a festive and lively mood. This scene captures a bustling city setting with a focus on festive storefront decorations. This painting is in the style of a 19th-century genre painting.
