Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a street scene with a narrow, shadowy alley surrounded by rustic buildings. The horizon is indistinct due to the surrounding structures. In the center is a darkened archway. On the street, several figures are visible, with two people walking towards the center and others in doorways and alleys. The etching technique is evident through fine lines and shading that add texture and depth. The color palette is monochrome, with deep blacks and light sepia tones, giving a vintage quality to the image.
