This watercolor on brown prepared board is vertically oriented. The piece<br /> is reputedly a view of a Parisian street (perhaps in the 8th arrondissement), and the perspective is as if the viewer is on the fourth floor of an adjacent<br /> building. The upper two-thirds of the piece show a building-lined street,<br /> curving gently to the left. The buildings are about six stories tall, and<br /> additional rooftops are barely visible in the distance. On the ground<br /> floor of the buildings, there are traces of people, shops, and cafés. In<br /> the bottom third of the work, the road dissolves, but forms suggesting a<br /> few people populate the space.
