About this work

This painting shows a row of old buildings with red roofs. The buildings are different sizes and have different shapes. Some have chimneys, and some have windows. There are trees behind the buildings. The sky is cloudy and gray. The painting is done in a style that makes the buildings look old and worn. The colors are muted, and the brushstrokes are rough. The artist used a lot of brown and gray paint to create a sense of age and decay. The painting is held at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
