Subway Scene, an original lithograph by Nan Lurie (1910-1985), pencil signed Nan Lurie and titled in the lower margin. A sleeping passenger slumped against a subway car, drawn with Lurie's characteristic dense, swirling crayon work.

Created for the WPA Federal Art Project in New York (c.1935-42), Subway Scene is held by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Schomburg Center of the New York Public Library. WPA editions were small, typically around 25.

Presented in a gilt frame with a cream mount, behind glass. Backboard with a Nottingham framer's label. Overall size approx 69 x 52 cm.

Condition: good; margins with light toning. Please see all photographs. Further works by Lurie from the same source are listed separately.
