Artist, French, 1871 - 1958

The image displays an urban street scene from a slightly elevated viewpoint. The narrow street is lined with buildings on both sides, with no horizon visible. The bold, expressive style with dynamic brushstrokes creates movement and texture. The color palette is limited to black, white, and deep grays, emphasizing the forms of the buildings and street. Close by, shadowed figures stand on the left side of the wider street, which curves slightly as it extends into the distance. Light illuminates parts of the building facades on the right side. The background darkens, obscuring details and enhancing the moody atmosphere.
