A wonderful and pertinent example of Berthelsen's charming New York City winter scenes depicting The Grand Army Plaza at the entrance to Central Park, anchored by the bronze statue of Union Gen. William T. Sherman and also the Plaza Hotel on the right side. An iconic scene that so many have come to love and cherish. The artist was truly a master of capturing New York in all of its glory throughout the seasons. This piece is executed whimsically, yet dramatically evoking an emotion of wonder and beauty. This piece is signed lower right by the artist and it comes housed in a beautiful contemporary silver tone decorated frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
