This painting shows a street scene with buildings on either side. The buildings are mostly two or three stories high, with chimneys and steeply pitched roofs. In the distance, you can see the spire of a church or other tall building. The painting is done in watercolor, with soft colors that give it a dreamy quality. The artist has used a range of blues and grays to capture the atmosphere of the scene.
