Large watercolor landscape of Central Park in New York City with the Manhattan skyline in the background, apparently a view from within the park looking towards Central Park South.   A few pedestrians walk the paths beneath leafy trees on a sunny day.  The muted colors and rectangular shapes of the buildings act as a compositional foil for the vibrant greens and rounded forms of the foliage.
