Woman walking down the street in the evening, print, printmaker: François Maréchal, 1895, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, etching with plate tone, height 295 mm x width 218 mm, adult woman, city-view in general, 'veduta', street, A darkly shaded figure in profile draped in a long cloak or coat dominates the foreground, their head turned slightly and hair shown in textured strokes. Behind them, a multi-story building with many windows and ornate architectural details fills the midground, its façade drawn with fine cross-hatching. Streetlights glow and bare trees with thin branches line the street, while groups of people, horse-drawn carriages, and a few figures at the curb appear along the roadway. The scene is rendered in intricate, dense etching lines with a night or evening atmosphere and strong contrasts between the shadowed foreground and the illuminated building and street activity.
