This painting shows a busy street scene with old buildings and people walking. The colors are earthy—beiges, browns, and a touch of green and blue. A horse-drawn carriage is in the middle, and a lone figure in a coat walks ahead, while others stand nearby. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The buildings have simple windows and sloped roofs, and the whole thing feels a little weathered, like it’s been around for a while. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint.
