About this work

This print shows a rainy street scene with two people walking a horse. One person holds an umbrella, and a small dog trots beside them. In the background, a large house sits behind a fence, with trees and a church tower peeking above the rooftops. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to suggest movement and wet pavement. The whole scene feels quick and alive, like a snapshot of daily life. If you like this style, look up Impressionism next.
