These two drawings of the New York skyline, three years in the making, were two weeks from completion when the World Trade Center towers were destroyed during the 9/11 attacks. This depiction of the New York City skyline is a snapshot of the world's most famous skyline in the days preceding 9/11 before it was inextricably changed by the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001. A small number of the Hudson River Portraits remain and are available for purchase.
