Lot description
This oil on canvas painting by Harry McCormick depicts the interior of the historic New York City establishment, McSorley's Old Ale House. Rendered in a contemporary realist style, the composition captures a candid moment inside the tavern. On the left, a trio of men, including a bartender in a white shirt, converse over a dark wooden bar featuring a vintage brass cash register and multiple beer mugs. To the right, a solitary woman is seated at a round table, looking toward large windows that reveal a bright city street outside. A cat sits on the sun-drenched floor in the center of the room, near an open doorway. The interior is rich with detail, including a pot-belly stove topped with a copper urn and walls densely covered with framed photographs and memorabilia. McCormick uses dramatic chiaroscuro lighting and a warm palette of ochres and browns to create an atmospheric scene. The work is signed McCORMICK in red capital letters in the lower right corner and is housed in a thin gold-toned frame.
