True painting title unknown. I found this piece a little different than Marian’s other paintings. The buildings don’t seem to represent any particular culture like some of her Asian inspired design. Perhaps this person was a part of “They” or maybe represented someone Marian knew. I feel it was probably painted sometime in the 1920s and was in full color.
