Extra Paper

Watercolor on paper. Bustling street scene featuring a large group of people on a red brick surface. A streetlamp at left bears a yellow street sign marked “STATE.” In the foreground, a boy in front of a newsstand hands a newspaper to a man in a beige suit. A blonde woman in a short green dress and red heels stands behind him, opening her purse. Behind them, a police officer in a blue uniform directs traffic, including a black car and several pedestrians. In the background, a red trolley marked “STATE” passes by, with several passengers visible through its windows. Motley’s signature appears in the painting’s lower left-hand corner.
