Artist, Scottish, 1876 - 1953

The image features a street scene captured from an elevated viewpoint overlooking an intersection. Tall buildings dominate the scene, with one prominent structure on the left. Various business signs are visible at ground level, including "COIFFEUR," "PORTRAITS," and "ENCADREMENTS." The sketch-like style uses bold pencil strokes to create depth and texture, especially in the building's facade and the street shadows. The color palette ranges from black to white, creating a classic, moody atmosphere. Figures in the scene include a person in a long coat and pedestrians and a bicyclist further down the road.
