Gee, Officer Krupke - West Side Story...
An oil painting shows an older, stern-faced police officer standing on the left in a dark blue uniform, including a cap, white shirt, and black tie. He has a white mustache and is looking straight ahead. To his right, a group of five rowdy young men, all with similar hairstyles, black or brown leather jackets, white t-shirts, and blue jeans, are standing on a street littered with debris. The young man closest to the officer is pointing his left hand towards something off-camera with a wide-open mouth, as if shouting. Another young man to his right has his right hand raised, as if to ward something off or express surprise. The other three men also have their mouths open, as if yelling or reacting strongly. The background features brick buildings with fire escapes and windows, contributing to an urban, possibly 1950s or 60s, setting. The lighting suggests daytime.
