Street Scene, Paris [Rue Laffitte (?) ]

Artist

James McNeill Whistler

Physical Description

This watercolor on brown prepared board is vertically oriented. The piece

is reputedly a view of a Parisian street (perhaps in the 8th arrondissement), and the perspective is as if the viewer is on the fourth floor of an adjacent

building. The upper two-thirds of the piece show a building-lined street,

curving gently to the left. The buildings are about six stories tall, and

additional rooftops are barely visible in the distance. On the ground

floor of the buildings, there are traces of people, shops, and cafés. In

the bottom third of the work, the road dissolves, but forms suggesting a

few people populate the space.
