Maisons, Rue de Lyonnais is a 1882 by Alfred-Alexandre Delauney, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows old buildings by a canal, drawn in quick, scratchy lines. The walls are rough, with small windows and clothes hanging out to dry. A horse and rider walk along a narrow path beside the water, and a few people stand near the buildings. The artist focused on everyday life, not fancy scenes. The loose, sketchy style makes it feel like a quick snapshot of a moment. Look up Realism next to see more works like this.
