More about Monochromatic Sketch of Lisbon Street Scene

A very detailed hand-drawn pen and ink sketch of a street in Lisbon, in a perspective view, rendered in monochromatic tones. The street features multi-story stone buildings, with intricate architectural details including balconies with metal railings, cornices, decorative pilasters, and arched windows and entrances. Many of the ground-floor shops have canvas awnings extended over the sidewalks. People are depicted walking on the sidewalks on both sides of the street. In the distance, a prominent church steeple with gothic architectural elements rises above the other buildings, hinting at a central European or Mediterranean urban setting. A classic car and a bus are driving on the street, indicating a specific historical period. The linework is precise and detailed, with visible cross-hatching and shading that create depth and texture, showing a realistic artistic style often found in architectural illustrations or travel sketches.
