Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a quiet street scene with a sepia-toned color palette. The perspective leads the eye from the foreground with buildings and a cobbled path to the background with more buildings becoming less distinct. The horizon is obscured by buildings, creating an enclosed feeling. The left buildings have intricate architectural details, and trees on the right add organic form. The technique involves fine brushstrokes and etching to create texture and depth, highlighting the play of light and shadow.
