About this work
Overview
Quay Montebello is a print by Herman Armour Webster, created around 1928. It is part of the collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts a tall, narrow building with balconies and a ground-floor shop in a European city. Passersby on the sidewalk pause to look in the shop windows, while a horse-drawn carriage and figures in old-fashioned attire add to the scene's bustle.
Technique & Style
The artist captures the worn facade of the building, detailing uneven shutters and a sign reading 'À la Chope de Roye.' The focus on architectural texture and everyday life suggests a style attuned to the nuances of urban scenery.
