← Bonvin, François

The image shows a narrow street with rustic buildings on both sides. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, giving a downward angle to the scene. The horizon is obscured by the buildings, with chimneys emitting smoke. The drawing style is etching with fine lines defining textures. The color palette is monochromatic in varying shades of sepia and black. A lamppost is visible in the foreground, and two figures walk down the street. In the background, more architectural elements and fences are visible.
