In this strongly vertical composition, a tall archway frames a view of the chatoic maze of further arches, roofs, walls and windows along a small, winding side street. The artist selectively describes various material details, such as the stones and bricks of the walls, and the sagging tile roofs. All elements in the image seem to register the effects of time.<br /> The title “STREET IN PORTO MAURIZIO” is etched by hand in the plate just below the lower left edge of the composition.

A watercolor painting of a sunset scene in a woodland river area. In the foreground the river is tinted orange from the sunset reflection. A man sits in his boat facing the bends of the river that lead to the homes located further back. The winding riverbanks are lined with tall trees. The sky above is cloudy, but pockets of a light-blue sky are visible.

In this strongly vertical composition, a street crowded with groups of people and individuals—all rendered in silhouette and casting long shadows—recedes into space, seen from above. The street is lined with two- and, at most, four-story buildings on both sides. A hilly landscape rises behind the buildings, and a stormy-looking sky occupies the top portion of the image. In the right foreground, a woman is seen from the back as she stands on a small balcony looking down the street at a procession underway. The procession follows a banner depicting a saint, and proceeds towards the viewer. Some of the people in the street wear pointed hoods over their heads.<br /> The image is covered with diagonal slash marks. The print shows incredibly rich textural effects as a result of intense drypoint scraping, extensive biting in the darkest areas, and printing on very thick wove paper. <br /> Signed in the plate, l.l., recto, "Bone / 19[?]5"

This watercolor painting dominated by shades of browns depicts a wide path leading down to a waterfront. The path is flanked by small hills and shaded with large trees, and a person seems to walk along the left side of the path. In the distance across a body of water are faint outlines of buildings, possibly a city on the shore, and a sunset indicated by the orange tint in the clear sky.
