78 Cross Street, Boston, Massachusetts

John Mackie Falconer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed illustration of a building on a street corner. The horizon is low in the scene, with rooftops in the distance and a cobblestone path leading away from the viewer. The artwork is precise and includes fine lines to depict the building's facade and the cobblestones. The color scheme is sepia-toned. A sign displaying "McLaughlin Carpenter" hangs from the side of the building. The windows are intricately detailed with crosshatching. Another building is visible in the distance and birds are drawn in the sky.
