Amerikanische Grafik 1902–1916, 1904

The image shows a street viewed from an eye-level perspective. The horizon is not visible, but the convergence of buildings further along the street creates depth. The brushstrokes are fluid and painterly, typical of watercolor techniques, with soft blending and layers portraying light and shadow delicately. The color palette is warm, dominated by yellows, ochres, and beiges of the buildings, contrasted by the bright blue sky. The street scene lacks details close to us, focusing on architectural forms and the interplay of light and shadow on the surfaces of the walls.
