Artist, French, 1847 - 1898

The image depicts a city street with buildings and pedestrians. The composition shows a road with buildings in the background. Some smoke rises from chimneys aligned with the building roofs. The detailed linear style suggests a misty atmosphere, likely created through etching or engraving. The monochrome grey color scheme adds to the somber mood, with reflections hinting at rain. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians with umbrellas are in motion on the street. The buildings on the right show vertical and horizontal lines for texture and depth.
