Signed lower right "Muriel Backman" for Muriel Durgin Backman (American, 1902-1996) and titled verso "The Cool Gray City".
An elegant mid-century view of the San Francisco skyline and the bay with the Golden Gate in the foreground. A powerful and lyrical work by this notable California Modernist who exhibited with success from the 1930's through the 1950's at the Crocker Art Museum, the Kingsley Art Club, the Berkeley YWCA and the Santa Cruz Art League, among others. Muriel Backman is well-listed and her work is held in the permanent collection of the San Francisco Public Library.
