Observations
Across all four views, the scenes are rendered as energetic watercolor-like paintings with visible broad strokes, paper texture, loose edges, and strongly varied tonal masses. Dense urban activity, period clothing, industrial structures, and moving crowds recur throughout, using a restrained earthy palette punctuated by blue, red, and sunlit highlights.
