Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image displays a view of a rustic street with a row of old houses, as if from an elevated perspective across the road. The horizon line is above the rooftops, with rooftops continuing into the distance. The brushstrokes resemble those of a fine ink drawing or an etching. Details define textures and edges. The building closest on the right has a thatched roof and stone walls, while others have shingle roofs and chimneys. The color palette is monochromatic, with sepia and brown shades. People are walking down the road. Linear strokes in the sky represent clouds.
