“Destruction of the Royal Statue in New York” by: Balthasar Friedrich Leizelt

This piece of art by Leizelt is in the medium of a Print

Leizelt uses two- point perspective in creating the middle building. The viewer is looking at the corner of the building, and therefore one can see that there are two vanishing points

Balance was created in this piece by having the edges of buildings emerge on both sides of the print. If a building only appeared on one side of the print it would feel heavier on one side.

Rhythm is created in this print by the  men standing in groups  throughout the painting; they seem to go up one street and down another
