This painting shows a quiet city street from above. Leafless trees line the sidewalk, and a horse-drawn cart rolls down a sloped road. Buildings flank both sides, their rooftops and chimneys visible, while a river stretches out in the distance. The sky is pale, and the whole scene feels cool and still. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to suggest movement in the cart and stillness in the trees. The colors are muted, with soft grays and browns dominating the scene. Next, look up urban landscape to see how cities have been painted over time.
