In "Street Scene in Calais," he masterfully renders the textures of the buildings, the cobblestone streets, and the varied attire of the townspeople, providing a vivid snapshot of 19th-century urban life.

Davis's ability to convey the atmosphere of the scene is enhanced by his use of light and shadow, which adds depth and realism to the composition.
