City Streets

1933

A detailed black and white etching depicting an urban scene with a focus on the architectural elements of buildings and a bridge. The perspective is from an elevated angle looking down onto a railway or tram line that runs under a bridge with ornate railings. The surrounding buildings feature a variety of windows, chimneys, and a palm-like plant. The sky above shows light cloud textures, and the overall tone of the image is moody and atmospheric. There is a signature at the bottom right of the image.
