About the Item
This evocative oil painting titled Rain (Gay Street, Greenwich Village, Manhattan) is by American artist Alfred S. Mira (1900–1981), known for his moody and expressive depictions of New York City street life. The composition captures a rain-soaked Greenwich Village street, where tall brick buildings rise closely along the narrow roadway and pedestrians move quietly beneath umbrellas, their reflections shimmering on the wet pavement.
Mira’s confident brushwork and subdued palette of warm browns, deep grays, and muted ambers convey the atmosphere of an overcast city evening. The vertical architecture and softened forms emphasize depth and enclosure, while the glistening street surface adds movement and emotional resonance to the scene.
A strong example of mid-20th-century American urban painting, this work reflects Mira’s sensitivity to light, weather, and human presence within the city. An excellent addition for collectors of New York City art, American Impressionism, or atmospheric urban landscapes.
