Artist, American, 1890 - 1983

The image depicts a ground-level view of a large arched gate in a city. The horizon is not visible, and the upper parts of city structures create a line across the top of the image. The artwork is an etching with detailed lines and hatching for texture. The color scheme is sepia, giving the image an antique look. In the foreground, there are figures and animals, including donkeys, adding life to the scene. In the background, the city wall extends from either side of the gate.
