Little Penthouse
Martin Lewis
1935
Martin Lewis masterfully captures the quiet drama of city life in Little Penthouse, a rooftop vignette suspended between light and shadow. A solitary woman stands at a doorway, illuminated by an unseen source as skyscrapers glow in the distance. Known for his cinematic treatment of urban solitude, Lewis uses drypoint and etching to craft moody, luminous compositions that feel both intimate and immense.
