Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows an oval-shaped urban scene with a narrow street leading to a large, arched building in the distance. The perspective looks into a shadowy area with an arched entrance, leading to small figures further away. The view is dominated by the prominent structure leading to deeper shadows. The etching-style image features detailed linear brushstrokes for texture and depth. The color palette is monochromatic with brown and sepia tones, giving an antiquated look. The sides of the street have a mix of sharp and soft lines, with gas lamps on buildings and a solitary figure standing nearby.
