Oil on canvas painting by Robert Franke depicting a vibrant and imaginative Key West street scene with various people engaged in daily activities in front of quaint houses. The foreground features a group of elegantly dressed individuals including women in long dresses and men in suits and hats, interacting near a market stall laden with fruit. To the right, children play near a small dog, adding a sense of liveliness to the scene. The background shows several large houses with green gabled roofs and white balconies, surrounded by tropical plants. A church with a bell tower rises behind the foliage, and the sky above is painted in a pale blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds and birds in flight.Type of Painting
