About the piece

Painted in 1913 by Jonas Lie, this atmospheric work captures the bustling New York harbor during the twilight 'afterglow'. The composition balances the industrial grit of tugboats on the icy East River with the ethereal beauty of skyscrapers illuminated by a warm interior glow and veiled by drifting steam, showcasing the artist's mastery of light and atmosphere.
