1948 Social Realist Painting, Figures on a Sidewalk, Signed Peters

Very interesting original oil on canvas painting in the social realist style of figures on a sidewalk. Measures 18 x 22, sold unframed. As found condition. Signed lower right with what appears to be "K. Peters". Looks to be the work of a recognized or listed artist. The chaos of inner city American life is effectively captured here. Note the crowded street in the top of the painting contrasted with an empty street in the lower half. Every time you look at this one you'll notice something different such as the woman bending down to retrieve an object. There is a lot going on in this one. A great painting for a modern interior.
