Built from layers of a single warm brown wash, this drawing renders its crowd and street in tones of one ink, with the sunlight left as untouched paper. Street scenes like this were a favored subject for visitors and artists in the 1800s, when Havana and other Cuban port towns drew travelers eager to record daily life in the colonial city. The figures are packed closely into the glare, and the restrained palette gives the scene a sense of bustle and movement that a more detailed rendering might not have achieved.
