This painting shows a quiet street corner with old buildings. The left side has a small wooden shelter with a slanted roof, and the right side has a tall, narrow house with big windows and dark shutters. A few people walk by—one man in a hat, a woman in a long dress, and others carrying bags. The artist used soft colors and loose brushstrokes to focus on the shapes of the buildings. The light hits the walls unevenly, making some parts look warm and others cool. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
