This sketch shows a tall, narrow Parisian building with steep roofs and small windows. The front door is set under a covered porch, and a street lamp stands nearby. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the building’s details, leaving some areas lightly shaded. The title hints this is one of many drawings Delauney made of old Parisian streets. He focused on how light and shadow play across buildings. Check out *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see more of his work.
