Marea alta en la avenida

Childe Hassam, probablemente 1890

This is a painting of a horse-drawn carriage on a rainy day in an urban environment. Wet cobblestones reflect the overcast sky as the horse stands still, attached to a two-wheeled carriage. Umbrellas can be seen in the scene, suggesting light rain, with blurred figures walking past. The play of shadows and atmospheric effects is typical of street life in the city. The painting features a monochromatic palette of deep browns and blacks, giving it a moody and realistic tone.
