The Old Woman in the Street of the Ox-Butchers
Steep roofs and timbered houses crowd a narrow street beneath wooded hills. Small figures gather near a woman in dark clothes. The source caption identifies the bad old woman running down the street of the ox-butchers, giving Sime’s townscape its narrative focus.
