About this work

This etching shows a busy city street with a large wagon pulled by two horses. People walk nearby, and buildings with steep roofs line the road. Trees without leaves stand tall, and the sky looks stormy with quick, jagged lines. The artist used heavy shading to make the scene feel textured, especially on the horses and buildings. The lines are thick and uneven, giving everything a rough, almost sketchy look. Look up Frank Wilcox (American, 1887–1964) to see more of his work.
