DescriptionFramed and glazed. Image of a street corner in Paris. A large multistory house makes up the bulk of the image; there is an indistinguishable mound at the side of the house (lower center). The house includes several chimneys, a side shed, and windows with open shutters. A female figure is walking on the sidewalk (lower left) and in the background is a large, castle-like structure with a guard wall (left). Gray is a dominant feature of the palette, which utilizes color sparingly to outline features of the house.
