DescriptionIf one stands on the sidewalk just below Coit Tower in San Francisco, this expansive view looking toward the city's downtown can still be enjoyed. Emil Kosa Jr. painted this work for inclusion in a 1942 solo show at the Maxwell Gallery on Sutter Street in San Francisco. The composition, color palette and inspired painting language are a testament to the skill of this important California artist.
