Artist, Scottish, 1883 - 1959

The image shows a street scene from a worm's eye view. The narrow alley is lined with tall, leaning buildings. The horizon is not visible due to the towering structures. In the distance, the alley curves, leading to the sky. The artist uses loose brushstrokes to depict the architectural details and figures. The color palette includes grays, browns, and blues, with small patches of brighter colors. Light and shadow play a role in adding depth to the composition.
