About the piece

Painted in 1894, this street scene by Pierre Bonnard exemplifies the atmospheric and intimate style of the Nabis group. The composition features a crowd of figures in dark coats and hats beneath lush green trees, with playful white dogs punctuating the foreground, creating a sense of fleeting urban life and the artist's signature 'intimist' approach.
