Dark etching of a rainy night with lit shopfronts, crowds under umbrellas, a pale moon, and a bare tree at the right edge.

Rainy Night, Charing Cross Shops

An etching of a rainy night in a city street, with lit shop windows and figures holding umbrellas crowding a sloping pavement beneath a pale moon. Dense, fine hatched lines render the falling rain and dark sky, while a bare tree frames the right edge.

Español: Noche lluviosa, tiendas de Charing Cross

Un aguafuerte de una noche lluviosa en una calle urbana, con escaparates iluminados y personas con paraguas que llenan una acera inclinada bajo una luna pálida. Líneas finas y densas de sombreado representan la lluvia cayendo y el cielo oscuro, mientras un árbol sin hojas enmarca el borde derecho.

Português: Noite chuvosa, lojas de Charing Cross

Uma gravura em água-forte de uma noite chuvosa em uma rua da cidade, com vitrines iluminadas e pessoas com guarda-chuvas lotando uma calçada inclinada sob uma lua pálida. Linhas finas e densas de hachura representam a chuva que cai e o céu escuro, enquanto uma árvore sem folhas emoldura a borda direita.
