Black and white etching depicting a street scene with multiple figures walking or standing. Shadows are cast on the pavement, suggesting a source of light from the upper left. The background features a storefront with a "TO LET" sign in the window. The artwork has a dark, moody atmosphere, and there are inscriptions by the artist at the bottom.
