Petite rue Royale is a 1922 by Pierre Louis Gatier, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy street scene with people bundled up in winter coats and hats. A horse-drawn carriage sits on the left, and a tall lamppost stands on the right. Trees without leaves line the street, and buildings with columns loom in the background. Everyone looks like they’re hurrying, some carrying bags or walking pets. The artist used fine lines to show texture—like the grain of the pavement or the folds in clothes. It’s all in black and white, but the details make it feel real. Want to see more by this artist?
