Suburban Street
Description
Composition in gray tones, black and white. Straight, pasting and shaded lines. On the left prospective street to the right, with representative figures. In the foreground, a little on the right of center, man figure, cut off at the shoulders by the bottom edge of the support. 3/4 has the head turned to the left and wearing a hat whose brim covers her eyes. On the left, standing, cut off at the knees by the bottom edge of the support, that figure seems to be women without anatomical definition. In the background, on the right, suggesting a wall forming an angle like a corner where one sees what could be a sign representing a long clothes figure without defined facial features and a mass B behind as was a holy glow. On the left, along the sidewalk, cue gaps between the buildings, where to focus light bands are projected on the floor. In the third plane, back to human form, as if walking toward the end of the street, with his shadow cast on the right.
