About this work

This painting shows a quiet street scene. The artist took this photo before 1914, and it's interesting because it shows a simple, everyday scene from a long time ago. Atget was trying to document old Paris, and this is one of those photos. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Eugène Atget (French, 1857–1927).
