The picture, An Old Street, painted in 1937, features in the Art-tastic exhibition, which has begun its virtual run at St Andrews Museum in Fife. While the artist is known for his industrial landscapes and scenes with matchstick-like figures, the people in the painting keep their distance from each other.
