Perlenstickerei-Set auf Kunstleinwand „Kleine Straßenbahn“

“Little tram” is a city scene after rain: an old red tram comes down a narrow street, the cobbles shine, and warm light has already come on in the windows and lamps. The mood is soft and nostalgic, the kind that belongs to an autumn evening.

What the picture shows

At the centre stands a tall cast-iron lamp post with turquoise glass shades: its column is stitched in dark beads and divides the composition in half, with a second identical lamp further down the street. On the right a tree is shedding golden leaves — each leaf marked by a single bead, so the crown shimmers. The tram is red, with yellow windows and a dark arc of pantograph above; behind it, spires and old façades show through a grey haze. A long building runs along the left, its windows beaded as well. The beadwork here is applied as accents — the lamps, the windows, the leaves and the reflections on the wet cobbles — while the street, sky and mist stay as painted print on the canvas, which is why the stitched areas read as points of light.
