Jean François Raffaëlli

Painter, French, 1850 - 1924

The image shows a city street with grand old buildings, tree-lined sidewalks, and people going about their day. The architecture is detailed and rises into the sky. The brushstrokes are expressive, capturing movement. The color palette is soft with muted tones and hints of red. People walk and converse close by, while a horse-drawn carriage is seen in the distance.
