Street Corner Seen from Above

About this work

You see a Paris street from above, like a map of tiny people and cars. Some shoppers carry bags. Others stop to talk. The scene looks quiet but full of small motions. Bonnard made this as part of a set of prints. He liked drawing everyday life near his home. The park here is the Bois de Boulogne, Paris’s big green space.
