Yasuo Kuniyoshi

Night Police, Paris
1928

A black and white etching depicting a person riding a bicycle on a city street at night. The cyclist, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long coat, is illuminated by a street lamp that casts a glow on the nearby building marked with the word "HAT" in reverse. Shadows and the suggestion of trees line the street, creating a moody, nocturnal atmosphere.
