"New York Central." Proposal for an unpublished calendar, 1945/1946 . Gouache on board. 483x381 mm; 19x15 inches. Signed in lower right image.

Believed to be an original painting commissioned for the New York Central Railroad in 1945 or 1946, the work was destined to be used on a New York Central calendar, but the calendar was not produced due to the second World War. The painting was salvaged by a NY Central Railroad employee in the 1970s.
