Print
A vertically oriented print in loose black chalk and translucent beige depicts a narrow street. Frenetic strokes suggest weathered buildings flanking the path, while a distant domed tower rises in the background. Suggestive, layered strokes indicate wagons and people moving away. Vertical and diagonal shading define the stone textures under soft light on beige paper, with touches of blue and red watercolor highlighting the storefront.
