This captivating watercolor painting captures one of the magnificent nude sculptures that recline atop the seventh floor pediments of the Boskowitz Building, located at 704-706 Broadway in New York City. The building, completed in 1895, is a notable example of Renaissance Revival architecture designed by De Lemos & Cordes.

The artwork, created in May 2008, employs a refreshing color scheme of light blue-gray and warm yellow glow, which perfectly captures the serene yet commanding presence of these sculptures. These magnificent sculptures, easily missed by passersby on the busy streets below, are depicted in the painting with a light blue-gray tone that echoes summer blue sky, while a warm yellow glow delicately highlights their intricate details and classical forms. This choice of colors not only brings the figures to life but also emphasizes their quiet vigil over the city's bustling life, often unnoticed yet tirelessly overseeing from above.

Add this exquisite painting to your collection to cherish the overlooked beauty and enduring watchfulness of these sculptures, rendered in colors that enhance their historical significance and artistic elegance.
