Oil on canvas, framed. Attributed to Guy C. Wiggins (1883–1962). Depicting a winter city street with tall commercial buildings, a Gothic-style cathedral, American flags suspended across the roadway, pedestrians with umbrellas, and cars including taxis moving along a snow-covered street, the composition reflects Wiggins’s established Impressionist-influenced approach to New York subjects, characterized by loose brushwork, atmospheric handling of weather, and softened architectural contours. Signed Wiggins at the lower right. Labels on verso of Galeries of Associated American Artist dated 1932 and American Art. 78.7 x 49.5 cm (31" x 19.5"), framed: 102.8 x 72.3 cm (40.5" x 28.5"). The emphasis on snowfall, urban movement, and flag-lined streets aligns with themes central to Wiggins’s mature work, where he frequently portrayed Manhattan landmarks under winter conditions. Comparable examples featuring cathedral façades, flags, and snowy street scenes appear in major institutional collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, all holding works that demonstrate similar atmospheric effects and urban compositional structure.
