Rainy Night, Chinatown
1932

A monochromatic etching depicting a European street scene at night with buildings on either side and a church spire in the background. Silhouettes of people and a horse-drawn carriage are visible on the street, which reflects light, suggesting a wet surface. The image has a dark, moody atmosphere with strong contrasts between light and shadow. There is a signature and date in the lower right corner.
