Earl Horter

(Balconies, New Orleans)
n.d.

A detailed etching depicting an old street scene with two-story buildings featuring ornate balconies and arched windows. A lone figure stands on the sidewalk near a street lamp, and the textures of the architecture and cobblestone street are finely rendered, suggesting a historical or European setting. The edges of the paper are rough, indicating it may be a print.
