Artwork overview

Associated Artworks

This black-and-white photograph depicts a street scene with two men. The man on the left has his back to us and holds a tulip behind his back in his right hand. He is wearing a dark overcoat and trousers. On the right, another man walks toward us, wearing a beret and a long black overcoat. He has a pipe in his mouth and is looking down at something small in his hands, like a wallet or coin purse. In the background on the left, a woman in dark clothing and sunglasses is visible, and another person is partially visible. The scene is foggy, with blurred details of trees and buildings in the background behind the people.
