The artwork presents a nocturnal scene of Fifth Avenue, bathed in the bluish hues of night. The atmosphere is laden with a sense of dreamy stillness, characteristic of Hassam’s impressionistic style.

The indistinct forms and subtle blending of colors evoke the ephemeral nature of urban life after dark, capturing the quiet beauty and transient moments of the cityscape.
