DescriptionNumerous folk characters populate this street scene, which the artist depicts in great detail. The geometry of the buildings and the pattern of the paving stones establish a grid of straight lines against which the artist balances the figure. Despite its many elements, the scene conveys an air of quiet and harmony.
