Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a row of traditional Dutch canal houses with gabled facades. The houses have decorative tops and numerous windows. They are lined up below the horizon with varied gabled rooftops. In front of the houses, there is a tree-lined street where a boat is passing by on the water. The water reflects the buildings and adds movement to the image. The artistic style is detailed etching with an interplay of light and shadow. The color palette is sepia and black, creating a historical ambiance.
