Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

This is a drawing of a storefront with the sign "BOUTIQUE A 5 SOUS". The image features a simplified, black and white line drawing of a market scene. The drawing shows a canopy above displaying the text "BOUTIQUE A 5 SOUS". Below the canopy is an assortment of items for sale, depicted with abstract details and minimal rendering. Vertical lines suggest supports for the overhang. The items beneath are portrayed with a collection of lines, creating a crowded market aesthetic. The style is reminiscent of the early 20th century, focusing on capturing the lively nature and mood of a street market.
