Katu Quimperissä Bretagnessa is an unspecified by Oscar Kleineh, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a quiet street in what looks like a small European town. Narrow buildings with slanted roofs line both sides, their walls a mix of warm browns and faded whites. A tall church spire rises in the distance, piercing a clear blue sky. People in simple clothes walk or sit near the buildings, and a horse-drawn cart is parked under a covered walkway. Notice how the light hits the buildings, making some parts bright and others shadowy. The artist used this contrast to give the scene depth and warmth. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this technique works in other paintings.
