About this work

Overview

Quay Montebello is a print by Herman Armour Webster, created around 1928. It is part of the collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a tall, narrow building with balconies and a ground-floor shop in a European city. Passersby on the sidewalk pause to look in the shop windows, while a horse-drawn carriage and figures in old-fashioned attire add to the scene's bustle.

Technique & Style

The artist captures the worn facade of the building, detailing uneven shutters and a sign reading 'À la Chope de Roye.' The focus on architectural texture and everyday life suggests a style attuned to the nuances of urban scenery.
