The City Square of Old Los Angeles

Another weekend, another Ralph Hulett. This time it's an oil of downtown Los Angeles near Olvera Street.

This specimen was painted in the mid-sixties, when artist Hulett was doing a lot of different studies of L.A. (Bunker Hill paintings here and here.)

The scene here is old Los Angeles Square near Olvera Street. Union Station would be a block or two away, and L.A.'s City Hall (seen on the right side of the street) isn't in that precise location, I don't think. Mr. Hulett had the habit of putting the landmark in a lot of his L.A. paintings for like, reference.
