About the piece
Painted around 1890, this work by James Guthrie captures the quiet, mysterious atmosphere of a Scottish street at night. A leading figure of the Glasgow Boys, Guthrie employs a Tonalist palette of deep grays and muted yellows to convey the luminous glow of window lights and the movement of shadowy figures against the damp pavement.
