City Newsboy in Winter Oil on Canvas Framed

Description

This painting is both lighthearted and glum. We've tried heartily to identify the artist, with no success. It evokes the grittiness of a late 19th- to early 20th-century cityscape, and the subject appears to be a young paperboy smoking a cigarette. Perhaps New York City or London?
Attractive and appropriate frame.
