Ф. Голлербах писал об этой работе Добужинского: «В отличие от Остроумовой-Лебедевой, запечатлевшей в своих гравюрах и литографиях преимущественно архитектурную красоту Петербурга, художник заглянул и в низины городской жизни, обнял своей любовью не только монументальное великолепие петербургского зодчества, но и жалкое убожество грязных окраин» .
