Watercolor on paper by Stan Sharp depicting a night scene of the San Carlos Institute, located at 516 Duval Street. Three people stand in the foreground. The building is painted in warm shades of pink and red, with features such as baroque-styled decorative moldings, pilasters, and a balcony adorned with a wrought iron railing. The sky above is a textured deep blue, contrasting sharply with the vibrancy of the building's colors.
