DR-A192 Untitled (Merico Club)

Gainsboro; Henry Street; Morocco Club; David Ramey.

Drawing of an alleyway. Two men are standing, facing each other. The man on the left has his arms raised in a defensive position, ready to fight. The man on the right is shown taking off his overshirt, revealing his ab muscles. There are many other people in the alleyway with them. Two figures on the left are leaning against a white brick building that has "Merico Club" written on the wall. They are engaged in conversation and not looking at the central figures. There are trashcans overflowing with trash to their left, and a sign that says "PepsiCola" above the trashcans. In-between the two fighting figures, in the background, are three people looking at the commotion. One man has both his arms raised, possibly to cheer. On the right is a man leaning against a red brick building. There are more trashcans near him. There are three windows on this building, and a woman is seen looking towards the figures in the alley from the window. Buildings and houses can be seen in the background. The moon is in the sky. Signed by artist and dated 2015.
