Rue de Jouy le Comte

Französische Grafik 1879–1887, probably 1880

The image shows a village or small town from a slightly elevated point of view. The scene is framed by trees and buildings. A figure is sweeping a path on the left side, with a small group of people further along the road. The houses have traditional features like red brick chimneys and gabled roofs. The path curves between trees in the distance. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive in an impressionistic style, capturing light and shadow. The color palette includes soft greens, blues, grays, and hints of reds and oranges. The sky has a blue and pale pink gradient.
