About this work

This watercolor painting shows a city street at night. It's mostly dark, with some light coming from the left side. There are buildings along the street, and a few people are walking or standing around. The painting has a lot of gray and dark colors, which gives it a quiet, nighttime feel. You can see some details of the buildings and the people, but it's not a super clear picture. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. If you want to learn more about the artist who made it, look up Steinlen, Théophile Alexandre.
