Description

The work was painted by Hassam from a vantage point on 17th Street, looking out over Union Square. The painting is done in Hassam's signature form of impressionism, and covers one of his favorite subjects; normally-crowded hubs of activity during the wintertime.[1][2]

gollark: Someone here has a CB gold for a coded new release, which seems a bit more sensible.
gollark: Unless you subcontract to other people to hold gusties until they hit ultra low time, you'll be bottlenecked by that.
