Sixteen East Gay Street

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a quiet street corner with a mix of people. A man sits on the sidewalk, fixing something on a bicycle. Nearby, another person leans against a building. In the background, a porch has two figures—one standing, one sitting—and a dog rests on the steps. The artist used bold lines and shadows to create depth, even without color. The street name, "Sixteen East Gay Street," is signed in the corner. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
