© Key West Art & Historical Society: The image is a watercolor painting depicting a charming street scene at twilight, possibly after rainfall as indicated by the reflections on the wet pavement. In the foreground is a row of colorful, quaint buildings including one prominently featuring a sign that reads "Sloppy Joe's." Another building is labeled "Capt. Tony’s Saloon." There are several figures casually strolling or standing around, contributing to a relaxed, evening atmosphere. The sky is painted in muted tones suggesting either dawn or dusk, contrasting with the warmly lit street and vibrant architectural hues. Vegetation subtly frames the scene, and the distant background shows a hint of a waterfront, enhancing the painting's coastal town feel.
