City Scene with Tenements
1915–1918, posthumous print

A detailed etching depicting an urban scene with a juxtaposition of architectural styles. In the foreground, two figures are standing close together, looking at a quaint, detached house with a gabled roof and a front porch. Behind this house, a tall, narrow building with fire escapes and multiple stories looms, suggesting a dense city environment. The artwork is rich in texture and contrast, capturing the essence of a bustling cityscape.
