Street at Night, Meudon

Britische Grafik 1896–1941, 1910s

The artwork shows a street scene at night in Meudon. The perspective is from an eye-level view, focusing on a dimly lit street. The horizon is not distinctly visible. Buildings with softly glowing windows are prominent, rendered with loose and fluid brushstrokes. The color palette consists mainly of earthy browns and grays, with hints of yellow from the illuminated windows. A solitary figure is visible close to us.
