Rockaway Beach (New York) (by E.H. Potthast) Metal Ornament

This design features a painting by the American Impressionist painter Edward Henry Potthast (1857–1927). It shows a vintage scene at Rockaway Beach, which is a neighborhood on the Rockaway Peninsula in the New York City borough of Queens: it contains the largest urban beach in the United States. In this depiction, various people can seen walking and sitting on the beach, relaxing in the sun, and there are also some swimmers in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Distant buildings can be seen in the background. The original art was painted by E.H. Potthast circa 1910.
