Rue du Coq St. Jean is a 1851 ink by Adolphe Théodore Jules Martial Potémont, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a street corner with a tall, narrow building in the center. The building has a sign that reads "HOTEL MEUBLE DU BOURREL," with a balcony above the entrance. People are walking on the sidewalk and stairs, and the street is lined with cobblestones. The drawing is all in black and white, with lots of fine lines showing details like windows, doors, and rooftops. Notice how the artist focused on everyday city life, not just fancy scenes. The buildings look old and slightly worn, with iron railings and small balconies. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create these detailed prints.
Adolphe Théodore Jules Martial Potémont (1862–1862) was an artist.
