Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a street scene seen from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon line is obscured by the rooftops of a series of old buildings lining both sides of the street. The street narrows and disappears in the distance. The etching technique is used for the sharp lines and shading. The color palette is primarily sepia and black. Dark architectural elements frame the edges of the image. Small figures animate the bustling street scene. The distant buildings appear more abstract, blending into the background.
