Original impressionist. .watercolor painting titled "Emilio's Butcher Shop" signed by artist Bob Pollan and dated 1978 in the lower right hand corner.
Painting is beautifully rendered in thick watercolor.
Now, lost to expansive gentrification, this shop like other family owned specialty shops, no longer line the streets of Manhattan
But, in 1970, these lively ethnic window displays were a common sight.
Artist Bob Pollan, recognized the beauty and authenticity of this window display with its hanging Ducks, Loaves of Meat and Huge Netted Cheeses.
The results are a beautiful work of art and a historical celebration of a lost part of NYC. City
