Blick aus einem Ostfenster im alten Zuckerhaus, Norris’ Alley Nr. 3, Philadelphia

Amerikanische Volkskunst, 1811

The image depicts a densely packed urban space with buildings and enclosed yards, viewed from an elevated angle. The buildings dominate the composition, with various tones of reddish-brown suggesting brickwork. Fine brushstrokes detail the buildings and their shadows, with a wooden fence and outbuildings in the foreground. In the distance, rooftops and a tree with dark foliage are visible against a pale blue sky. The color palette is primarily earthy tones, creating a historic atmosphere.
