About this work

This black-and-white print shows a crowded street scene with tall, narrow buildings lining both sides. People fill the street, some walking, others gathered in groups, while a few horses and carriages move through the crowd. The buildings have steep roofs, dormer windows, and a mix of brick and stone facades, with one church tower standing out in the background. The artist used fine lines to create texture, making the scene feel busy and slightly chaotic. The way light and shadow play across the buildings adds depth, even though it’s all in shades of gray. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Ensor carve images into metal plates.
