The artist seems to be standing in the building looking out to a scene. The tiled houses on both sides with the road in the middle form a symmetry yet allowing a spatial change to happen as the road extends into the distance. The proper use of perspective produces a spacious and airy effect. Moreover, the artist uses the contrast of black and various grey tones to shape his characters, air, and the environment, leaving us to feel cool yet unsettling about the scene.
