Tabak en Sigaren 1892

David Young Cameron's etching, "Tabak en Sigaren," depicts a street scene in the Netherlands. The title, which translates to "Tobacco and Cigars," is a direct reference to the shop on the right side of the composition. Cameron's masterful use of line and shading captures the essence of the scene, with the shop's awning casting a shadow over the sidewalk. The figures and objects are rendered with a sense of realism, though the artist's focus is on the overall atmosphere and composition. This etching is a testament to Cameron's talent as a printmaker and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday life.
