A horizontally oriented black-and-white etching depicts a city street corner where buildings on the left are defined by layered, frenetic strokes. A prominent lamp post leans from the foreground center while a horse-drawn carriage sits at the far right edge. Two figures stand near a columned storefront. Shadows across the ground are suggested by overlapping diagonal lines. "June '78" marks the lower right corner.
