DescriptionDrawing of the United Nations Building in New York City, from a ground-level perspective. On the left side of the building, the windows are rendered, giving the impression that that side of it was in shadow. There are about twenty flags depicted in front of it, and a handful of pedestrials on the sidewalk. On the left, part of an automobile is visible.
