Artist, French, 1907 - 1988

The image shows a cobblestone street looking down a narrow alley toward an ornate gothic cathedral. The cathedral's arches and spires dominate the distant view. The scene is captured in a photograph with subtle color tones, reminiscent of early 20th-century photography. The buildings on either side of the street are dark and shadowed, framing the path leading to the cathedral and other buildings visible in the distance, lit up with soft light.
