Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The image shows an urban riverscape illustrated in a detailed, sketch-like style akin to etchings. The depiction includes a river with reflections, buildings, a tall tower, an arched bridge, rooftops, chimneys, a flag-topped spire, and small boats. The scene is monochromatic with a sepia tone, giving it a historic feel. The illustration captures movement and life with fine lines, shading, and rich detail.
