This painting shows a quiet scene of a street in Limehouse. The artist used simple lines and shapes to create a sense of calm. He also used contrast between light and dark to add depth to the scene, which is interesting because it was done with limited colors. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of etching, drypoint.
