La rue des Quatre Vents is a 1904 by Raymond Ray Jones, depicting street, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a narrow London street in the early 1900s. Two bicycles lean against a brick wall. A woman walks past a shop with a striped awning. The artist painted this street scene again and again. He focused on everyday life in the city. His brushwork feels quick and loose. This street still looks a lot like it did back then.
