I know where this is!

Can you let us know as well?

I'm not sure the location of the subject but I believe the painting is in the art institute of Chicago.

It looks a lot like a specific corner in Toronto to me. Near St Lawrence market. We also have streetcar infrastructure so could be?

Edit: https://i.imgur.com/7xdWtpZ.jpg this is a street view of the corner I was thinking about, you can't see it too well from this angle but there is a streetcar track that runs in the exact same spot as the picture.

It's a good likeness actually - but I'm having difficulty finding much of a biography of the artist, beyond "German painter (1900-1971)".

[Edit] found record of a longer version of the title "From my window (Düsseldorf, Nordstr. / Venloer Str. corner) , ca. 1930"

Might not be, just jumped out to me in my brain! We may never know and that's kinda fun to me.

Absolutely - and it's interesting that such seemingly unique architecture actually looks like several different places. Near where I live in the UK, there's an area that could have looked quite like this in 1930 (though was heavily bombed in WW2, so absolutely doesn't now).

So many concrete buildings replacing the masonary. 😩

Glad they planted some trees now. But nice painting.
