It looks a lot like a specific corner in Toronto to me. Near St Lawrence market. We also have streetcar infrastructure so could be?
Edit: https://i.imgur.com/7xdWtpZ.jpg this is a street view of the corner I was thinking about, you can’t see it too well from this angle but there is a streetcar track that runs in the exact same spot as the picture.
It’s a good likeness actually - but I’m having difficulty finding much of a biography of the artist, beyond “German painter (1900-1971)”.
[Edit] found record of a longer version of the title “From my window (Düsseldorf, Nordstr. / Venloer Str. corner) , ca. 1930”
Might not be, just jumped out to me in my brain! We may never know and that’s kinda fun to me.
Absolutely - and it’s interesting that such seemingly unique architecture actually looks like several different places. Near where I live in the UK, there’s an area that could have looked quite like this in 1930 (though was heavily bombed in WW2, so absolutely doesn’t now).
