Old Deal 1920

"Old Deal" (1920) is an etching by English artist Henry Rushbury (1889-1968), depicting a narrow street in London. The scene showcases a group of figures working on a boat, their figures rendered with strong lines and subtle shading. Rushbury's masterful use of line and tone creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the alleyway, with the buildings lining the street appearing both imposing and intimate. The etching captures the artist's fascination with the urban landscape, a common theme in his work.
