We look down onto a wide, bustling, tree-lined avenue filled with buildings, people, and horse-drawn carriages in this horizontal painting. Muted, warm browns, sage green, slate blue, and brick red dominate the urban scene, which is loosely painted with short and long dotted brushstrokes so some details are difficult to make out. The street extends diagonally up from our lower left with wide gray sidewalks on either side, which are lined by slender trees sparsely dotted with brown leaves. Dozens of pedestrians meander individually, in pairs, and in small groups on the sidewalks in coats and hats. Across from us, multi-storied buildings with store fronts at street level stretch across the width of the canvas. Rows of windows line the facades. Horse-drawn carriages move in both directions on the street and two omnibuses have pulled to the curb closest to us, where passengers have lined up. Two brick-red, hexagonally shaped kiosks stand opposite each other on either side of the street about halfway along the boulevard. Sunlight filters onto the scene, creating a dappled effect in some areas, especially over to our right. The artist signed and dated the painting in dark green in the lower right corner: “C.Pissarro.97.”

The image shows a crowded scene with numerous people shown from the shoulders up. Most individuals are standing close together, filling up the entire frame, all facing forward. The central figure is a woman with an expressive face, wearing a bonnet and shawl. To her side is a man with a prominent straight face, dressed in a dark coat and tall top hat. Around them are various figures, most wearing similar top hats, some with elderly facial characteristics, and others appear to be whispering or conversing amongst themselves. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held by the people. The background features a shaded area suggesting a street setting, with a hint of what appears to be a streetlamp or decoratively carved element overhead.

People and a horse-drawn wagon move along a street lined with buildings on the left and trees on the right in this loosely painted horizontal landscape. The wide street angles from the bottom left of the composition to the middle right. The surface of the road is painted with strokes of apricot orange, light gray, rust red, and olive green, and it leads back to a slate-blue, blurred area suggesting trees in the distance. The two, three, or four-story buildings are close together or may be joined. They are painted in muted tones of parchment white, pale peach, and blue gray. Closest to us and to the left, a long brown roof and two bare trees sit beyond an ivy-covered stone wall. The people are indistinct and small in relation to the scene and are dressed in black, brown, olive-green, and slate-blue clothing. One of two carriages is across the road from us and the second one is farther back. On our side of the road, a man wearing a long black jacket and gray pants strolls away from us past a neat row of trees lining the peach-colored sidewalk. The overcast gray and pale pink sky is above. The artist signed and dated the lower left corner, “Sisley. 72.”

The image shows a view from a dock or shoreline, looking out over a harbor filled with several sailboats anchored in tranquil water. Closest to us are the dark silhouettes of these boats, their masts and rigging sharply defined against the light reflected on the water. Beyond the boats, the horizon is low in the composition, crowded with the lights of a distant city or port, giving a sense of depth. The horizon forms a line where the water meets the cityscape. Smoke trails from stacked chimneys blend into the atmosphere. The sky and water are treated with crosshatched strokes, creating a textured effect that enhances the reflection of lights on the water. The overall color palette is monochromatic, dominated by shades of black, grey, and muted white.
