This stylized modernist screenprint in black and white depicts a bustling harbor scene set against a dense, geometric city skyline. The composition is structured in horizontal tiers, featuring multiple large ocean liners and a smaller boat in the midground, with a waterfront railing in the foreground. The work is executed in a graphic, architectural style using sharp, fine lines and bold black geometric planes. The print is hand-signed in pencil in the lower-right corner and hand-numbered 49/200 in the lower-left corner. It is housed in a simple silver-toned metal frame with a cardboard backing. Frame dimensions: approx. 20.5 in x 19.5 in. Condition: The print exhibits widespread foxing across the surface, with numerous brown spots particularly visible in the white areas of the clouds and lower half of the paper. General paper toning is present throughout. The frame shows minor surface wear. The verso of the frame has significant old tape residue on the cardboard backing.
