Raoul Dufy

Artist, French, 1877 - 1953

The image shows an aerial view of a busy street lined with buildings, leading to a grand structure in the distance resembling a classical temple-like building with columns. The skyline is partially obscured by the central building, revealing a cloudy sky. Bold brushstrokes depict motion in the street below, with a monochromatic color palette of black ink on a cream background. Traffic, pedestrians, and building facades add to the urban scene.
