This painting shows a busy street corner with bright red buildings. One building has a sign that reads *"Zum Löwen"* in German. A horse-drawn cart sits in the middle, and two people stand nearby, talking. The colors are bold—reds, greens, and blues pop against a dark background. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, making the scene feel rough and alive. The sign *"Zum Löwen"* means "At the Lion" in English, which was often a tavern name in old European towns. The way the artist used thick paint to build up texture is a clue about their style. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
