This woodcut, along with Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1965-57-22, forms the left-hand sections of a pentaptych (five-panel) composition. Their visual connection is evident in the gray pavement that runs through the foreground of both prints. Complete sets of this pentaptych are rare because each segment is so striking as an independent image that it is not immediately apparent that it was designed to be part of a larger picture.
