About this work

This drawing shows a quiet street scene with old buildings. On the left, a bush grows up against a stone wall. In the middle, a small arched doorway has a person sitting inside, looking out. To the right, another person stands near a window, with a dog sitting on the ground beside them. The artist paid close attention to the play of light and shadow on the buildings. This style was common in the late 1800s. Look up Realism to see more works like this one.
