Neither - it's sub-Vettriano type trite nastiness, IMHO. The Elizabeth Duke of art. FFS you can even have a signed original for $800!

You did ask wink

Anyway, if urban scenes are your thing, how about something by Edward Hopper instead, maybe like this?:



or this



or there's always Lowry if you'd prefer something British...

But buy the Nolet if that's what you really like. It's your taste!

There is also what I call the 'Bride's Solution', ie 'both'.

I call it the Bride's Solution because whenever I'm foolish enough to ask a bride whether they would like 'A' or 'B' they always, unfailingly, say 'both'!!
