Sagot

About this work

This woodcut shows a crowded street scene in Paris, packed with people in long coats and hats. The figures are drawn in bold black lines against a light background, making them look like shadows. One person in the center wears a checkered scarf, and the crowd feels busy and tight. The artist carved this image into wood, a method that creates sharp, simple shapes. The text at the top names a Paris street and a shop, *E. D. Sagot*, hinting at a real place from the time. Look up woodcut to see how artists like Vallotton made prints from carved blocks.
