This sketch shows a tall, narrow building with small balconies and a shop on the ground floor. People walk by on the sidewalk, some stopping to look in the shop windows. The street is busy with a horse-drawn carriage and a few other figures in old-fashioned clothes. The artist focused on the details of the building’s worn facade, like the uneven shutters and the sign reading "À la Chope de Roye." The scene looks like a quiet moment in a European city. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more prints like this.
