Artist, British, 1886 - 1966

The image depicts an urban scene viewed from a street-level perspective. The horizon line is implied rather than directly visible, located toward the upper part of the image where buildings and the sky meet. The artwork features a detailed technique of cross-hatched lines that create movement and depth. The image is composed in grayscale, emphasizing contrast between light and shadow. A horse is pulling a loaded cart, with a cobblestone street leading further into the scene. Figures can be seen in motion, contributing to the urban atmosphere. Buildings frame the composition, leading to distant figures and a horse-drawn carriage at the back, enhancing depth and perspective.
