Lower Town, Quebec is an 8.5 x 6 inch etching on paper by Stanley Francis Turner produced circa 1930 and protected under museum glass. The piece depicts a dimly lit alleyway with cobblestone streets surrounded by tall brick buildings. Several figures can be seen strolling through the village and browsing the local shops. Turner uses a strong contrast between light and dark to frame the scene and add a moodiness to the piece.
Stanley Francis Turner was a talented etcher, known for his ability to capture the essence of major cities, particularly Toronto and Quebec City. His work documents some of the major architectural monuments of these locations.
