A Street Scene in Seville is a 1870 oil by Thomas Eakins, a Realism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a lively street scene in Seville. In the foreground, a man plays a horn, while two girls sit on the ground, one holding a tambourine. The girls wear white dresses with red trim, and the man is dressed in white with a black belt. The scene is set against a worn stone wall, with a window and a palm tree visible in the background. The overall mood is one of energy and movement, with the musician and the girls adding to the sense of activity.
