Carl Schurz Park, New York, White House Collection
This landscape is by William J. Glackens and captures Carl Schurz Park in the Upper East Side Manhattan neighborhood of Yorkville in New York City during the early 1920s. Looking out toward the East River and Harlem River, children play in the park along with women out for an afternoon walk. Glackens was an American Realist painter and one of the founders of the Ashcan School.
