A serene nocturnal scene captured by Karl Struss, this work depicts the shimmering interplay of moonlight reflected across the calm waters of Arverne, Long Island. Struss's masterful use of light and shadow evokes a tranquil, dreamlike atmosphere, characteristic of his Pictorialist approach to photography. The artist's signature and date, inscribed in pencil on the recto, affirm the work's authenticity and personal connection to its creator.
