Lot description

"The Bathgate Market, Bronx", monumental oil on hardboard, signed and dated lower right "L. Jackson, 40", also signed and titled verso, depicting the traditional Jewish Kosher fish market in what was the most crowded neighborhood in the Bronx in the 30's and 40's. The image has assembled many genre vignettes in the winter night on a sidewalk under a single electric light with a fire barrel for warmth. Two elderly men are playing a violin and a guitar at center. Fish deals figure prominently, including a cat making off with his prize. The most unique moment being a newlywed couple in very Russian looking white coats and caps. Housed in a specialty gilt molded panel frame with central rank of raised stars, OS: 45" x 58", SS: 31 1/2" x 47 1/2".
