Forgotten Alley - original upcycled vintage painting -3

Life isn’t always easy on the planets in the far reaches of the galaxy. The climates can be harsh and rough on the cities built up there by the inhabitants… and new supplies can be scarce, with ships not running frequently.

To manage, the locals rely heavily on  robots to help make life liveable. Little robots to carry the groceries, humanoid ones to take on more difficult tasks. And when the robots themselves broke down, they were used as scrap parts, or to make something new (like hanging lights!)

This little upcycled vintage art is about that difficult life, a quiet moment in a shaded alley, where the locals are just running errands, getting on with their day… little robot in tow ready to carry back a bag of groceries and offer assistance where they can!

I collected the original art locally at an antique shop, it had a note on the back saying it was a print done by a student. The original art had a pencil note on the bottom “Ste Geuevreve, Paris” and an illegible pencil signature. By the age of the frame, it looks c1920.

(Soooo.... I haven't measured this art yet! But I think you can get a sense of scale from it sitting on my desk. I will update the measurements on May the 4th)
