Charles Demuth.  I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold (To W.C.W.). 1928. Oil on cardboard, 90.2 x 76.2 cm. (inspired by the poem below)

The Great Figure, William Carlos Williams (1921)

Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
firetruck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city.
