We are pleased to offer this important original early oil painting on panel depicting life on the streets of New York City's Lower East Side by the well listed Danish-Americam painter and illustrator Martin Petersen 1866-1943. Martin Petersen is a listed artist known for his large body of works as a professional medical illustrator at Columbia University and as an chronicler and etcher of New York City street scenes. This important and colorful little painting by Petersen pre-figures the much later gritty urban scenes of America's Ashcan School and such artists as Reginald Marsh and Joan Sloan among others.
