illustration, close- up, Comic book style A detailed, highly textured, and atmospheric painting in a realistic style, likely from the early 20th century. It depicts an urban street scene at night, with a focus on two elegantly dressed individuals and a uniformed guard. The central figures are a man and a woman. The man, positioned slightly to the left, wears a dark, long coat with a high collar and a top hat. His expression is serious, and he holds a walking cane in his right hand. The woman, standing to his right, is dressed in a luxurious, dark evening gown adorned with sparkling sequins and a thick fur stole around her shoulders. Her hair is styled in a sophisticated, updo, and she wears a delicate necklace and bracelet. The background features a large, ornate signboard with intricate, vintage lettering and illustrations, possibly advertising a theater or event. The sign is illuminated by a streetlamp to the right, casting a warm, yellow glow that contrasts with the cool, blue tones of the night sky and the dark clothing of the characters. In the foreground, a uniformed guard stands attentively, his head turned slightly towards the couple. The textures and colors in this painting are rich and detailed, evoking a sense of elegance and historical authenticity
