Rue Brancion

A street corner in Paris recedes diagonally into the distance, flanked on the left by tall, weathered buildings with shuttered windows and a ground-floor storefront awning, and on the right by a row of dense green trees beside an archway with a striped flag. Small dark figures walk along the pavement and a cart stands mid-street, while a figure in a red shirt stands at the lower right; the palette is dominated by muted browns, ochres, and greens under a heavy grey-white sky. Yūzō Saeki, *Rue Brancion*, 1925, oil on canvas.
