About the piece

Painted during Maurice Utrillo's celebrated 'White Period' around 1913, this work depicts the Impasse Cottin in Montmartre. The artist utilizes his characteristic heavy impasto and a luminous range of whites and greys to evoke the weathered texture of urban plaster and the contemplative stillness of a Parisian alleyway.
