Riverside Drive from Across the Hudson

The composition showcases the interplay between the urban landscape and the expansive waterway, reflecting the early twentieth century's fascination with New York City's evolving skyline. Struss's delicate pencil work brings a quiet elegance to the scene, balancing architectural detail with the natural rhythm of the river.
