Street Scene

About this work

This sketch shows a busy street scene with two women in the center. One has long dark hair under a veil, holding her hands together, while the other wears a fur shawl and stands with one foot slightly forward. Around them, men in tall top hats and long coats walk or chat, and a few others stand in the background. The women’s fancy dresses and the men’s top hats suggest this might be a lively city moment. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and crowd energy. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
