About this work

This charcoal drawing depicts a city street scene, with a large arched passageway in the background and a horse-drawn carriage in the center. The artist has used stumping and wash to create a sense of texture and depth in the image. In the foreground, several people are walking or standing, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of movement and energy in the image. The carriage and horses are depicted in motion, while the people in the foreground seem to be going about their daily business. The artist's attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of a moment in time are evident in this drawing. For more works by Bianchi, Mosè, explore his other pieces.
