Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image depicts a street scene sketched from a slightly elevated viewpoint. The narrow street is lined with historic buildings, and the composition is filled with urban elements. Chimneys and rooftops stand out against the sky. The pencil strokes are detailed and precise, capturing architectural details. The color palette is monochromatic, with variations of gray and black. Individuals in period dress walk along the pathway, with one figure ascending steps. Further back, more figures are present. A tree is sketched on the right. The scene conveys a sense of tranquility and balances human activity with architectural interest.
