This drawing shows a quiet city street at night. A few bare trees line the sidewalk, their branches reaching into a dark sky. Buildings stand on both sides, their windows glowing faintly, and empty benches sit under a streetlamp. The only light comes from a bright patch on the pavement near the curb, and a lone figure walks in the distance. The artist used a simple, precise line to create the scene, almost like a sketch. The buildings and trees are drawn with sharp details, but the street feels empty and still. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how the artist made it.
