Resident with Evening Cigar

Outer Brick Quarter
c. Late Industrial Period

Workers of the Brick Quarter were frequently depicted during rest intervals. The subject’s posture and solitary setting suggest a routine pause at day’s end. Contemporary renderings suggest communal streets where conversation occurred between neighbouring doorways.
The cigar, while modest, is rendered with care and may indicate a valued personal possession rather than a casual habit.
