About this work

This painting shows a narrow street between tall, old buildings. The walls are peeling, and windows have wooden shutters. A bare tree stands in the middle, and a wagon with two horses is parked on the right side. The sky is pale, and the street slopes downward. The artist used simple, flat colors with some dark shadows to give depth. The buildings look worn, like they’ve been there for a long time. The horses and wagon add a touch of everyday life to the scene. For more about this style, look up chiaroscuro.
