The Saut-Buckets 1926

"The Saut-Buckets" is a 1926 etching by the Scottish artist Ernest Stephen Lumsden (1883-1948). The print depicts a narrow, cobblestone street in Edinburgh, Scotland. The towering buildings on either side of the street create a sense of claustrophobia, while the figures in the foreground add a sense of scale. Lumsden's use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, and the details of the buildings and street are rendered with great accuracy. This work is a fine example of Lumsden's mastery of the etching technique, and his keen eye for detail.
