Chrysler Building by Leon Dolice?

This is an incredible lithograph of the Chrysler Building in New York City. It probably dates from the early part of the 20th century. The Chrysler Building is reflecting the sunlight making it stand apart from the rest of the New York skyline. The artist very effectively uses an impressionist approach to depict the other buildings, the river, opposite shore, and sky. This hazy, sketchy style further contributes to the majesty of the Chrysler Building. The piece is signed in pencil Dolice. It is certainly in the style of the famous New York artist Leon Dolice. The identical piece recently came up for auction. It was described as an Ink Grisaille Wash but there was confusion about the printing technique. I am quite confident this is a stone lithograph however I am not as confident that it can be definitely attributed to Leon Dolice. The piece itself is mounted on a mat board. It is 4 3/8 x 11 inches. There are no margins. It is in very good condition. The plate is well-inked and there is no fading, staining, foxing, tears, or paper loss. Regardless of the attribution it is a very fine depiction of this iconic building.
