Old Street in Cannes 1929

"Old Street in Cannes" is a 1929 etching by American artist Percy F. Albee. The artwork depicts a street scene in Cannes, France, characterized by a winding road and buildings flanking its edges. The image showcases Albee's skillful use of etching techniques, creating depth and texture through the delicate lines and shading. The artist captures the vibrant energy of the scene through figures interacting on the street, including a group gathered around a stall, and a lone figure ascending a staircase. The artwork is a compelling example of Albee's mastery of printmaking and his interest in portraying the character of everyday life in the French Riviera.
