The artwork, titled “Street Corner,” was created by Robert Henri in 1895. It belongs to the American Realism movement and is categorized under the cityscape genre.
The composition captures the bustling essence of an urban street corner, conveyed through a blend of vibrant colors and dynamic brushwork. Visible in the scene are early automobiles and horse-drawn carriages moving along the street, interspersed with figures walking on the sidewalks, giving a vivid impression of city life in the late 19th century. The artist’s application of color and light suggests a moment frozen in the midst of activity, encapsulating the energy and movement of a typical urban setting.
