This print shows a quiet street at night. A lone figure walks down a sidewalk, dressed in a long coat, heading toward a row of small houses with lit windows. The buildings are simple, with sloped roofs, and the sidewalk is lined with a wooden fence. The sky is dark, almost black, with a few bare branches visible on the right side. The artist used strong contrasts between light and dark to create depth. The lit windows stand out against the shadowy street, making the scene feel still and mysterious.
