This painting shows a busy street scene. People are gathered on the sides of the street, watching a parade. The street is lined with trees and buildings, and the sky is gray. In the foreground, you can see the tops of people's hats and umbrellas. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, gray, and pink. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive. If you want to learn more about the artist who created this painting, look up Camille Pissarro.
