DR-A057 Friendly Fight

Gainsboro; Henry Street; Hotel Dumas; David Ramey.

Drawing of four people in an alleyway. Three of the people are significantly taller than the fourth person, who is drinking from a bottle while he is encouraged by the three taller men. Trashcans, trash, and empty bottles line the alleyway. A figure stands on the sidewalk in the distance with their hands on their hips looking in the direction of the alley. To the left is a building with the last three letters of its sign visible, reading "-ony". On the other side of the street, also on the left, is presumably the Hotel Dumas, as "Dumas" is written towards the top of the building. There is a brick building on the right with a figure in the window. On the opposite side of the street is a building with a sign reading "Hunter". Signed by artist and dated 1998. "Friendly fight" is written in the bottom right corner.
