Vue d'une rue des Faubourgs de Besançon (View of a Street in the Outskirts of Besançon) is a 1827 ink by Richard Parkes Bonington, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a street scene in the outskirts of Besançon. The street is lined with old buildings, some of which appear to be in disrepair. People are gathered in the street, and smoke is rising from the chimneys of the buildings. The scene is depicted in a romanticized way, with an emphasis on the beauty of the old buildings and the activity of the people in the street. The use of lithography on chine collé gives the painting a sense of texture and depth.
