The Salmon House, Chartres
c. 1930

An etching of a European-style street scene with half-timbered buildings. The prominent building in the center has a steep gabled roof and a tall chimney. The perspective is slightly skewed, giving the artwork an expressive character. The etching is detailed, with visible textures on the building facades and cobblestone street. Shadows and architectural details are emphasized, creating a moody, old-world atmosphere.
