Katu Quimperissä Bretagnessa, yökuva is an unspecified by Oscar Kleineh, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a narrow, dimly lit street at night. Old stone buildings line both sides, their steep roofs and chimneys casting shadows. One building has a small balcony with a lantern glowing faintly inside. The street is empty, with puddles reflecting the dim light from a single streetlamp. The artist used deep contrasts between light and dark to make the scene feel quiet and mysterious. The shadows on the buildings look almost three-dimensional, as if you could reach out and touch them. Check out *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works.
