Painting

One framed oil painting on canvas entitled "Three Days" that depicts a scene at the corner of 12th and Clairmount Streets during the 1967 Detroit Riot. The painting shows a nighttime view along the street with burning buildings on both sides. A small tank can be seen in the foreground with a streetlight and a "12th" street sign on a post at the right. The artist has signed her name, "Adrienne Caryl [Szczepaniak], 1968," in the lower left corner. The painting is held in a plain, narrow wood frame that has been finished with blue/gray stain. Handwritten pencil text on the back of the wood frame reads "Adrienne Szczepaniak, 4154 Waterford Lane, 626-4920." Painted text on the back of the canvas reads "Adrienne Caryl Szczepaniak, August, 1968," and "'Three Days,' Bloomfield Hills, Mich."
