- Description
- A tall, wide New York City skyscraper that appears to be an office building stretches upwards in the center of the picture. The architecture is characterized by a setback or ziggurat approach, with a step-like recession in the profile of the building and a reduction in area as it reaches upwards. Smaller buildings can be seen below in the shadows. A light area appears directly in front of the building on the street level and is surrounded by a darker, shaded area. Small figures and cars are dispersed in front of the building.
