This print shows a rainy street at night. People walk under umbrellas, and a horse and cart stand in the downpour. A tall building with arched windows looms on the right, its details lost in the dark. The artist used heavy shading to make the rain look thick and the shadows deep. This makes the scene feel quiet and mysterious. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works.
