Street in Sospel, France 1931

"Street in Sospel, France" is a 1931 drawing by American artist Earl Stetson Crawford (1877-1966). The work depicts a narrow cobblestone street in the French village of Sospel, with buildings on either side. The artist captures the detail of the architecture in meticulous detail, including the stone walls, windows, and the building's slightly damaged roof. Crawford's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, making the drawing appear almost three-dimensional. The composition of the artwork is balanced, leading the viewer's eye towards the center of the street, giving the drawing a sense of serenity.
