About this work

This print shows a narrow alley between old, sun-bleached buildings. The walls are rough and faded, with some patches of brighter yellow or green. Two people walk away from you—one on a set of stone steps, the other on the uneven ground below. The sky above is a clear, pale blue, and shadows stretch long across the alley. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like scribbles, which makes the scene feel alive but unfinished. The buildings look worn, like they’ve been there for a long time. If you like this style, look up Impressionism.
