From the Getty Museum record
View of an urban street. A six-storey building is visible, featuring businesses and a passage on the ground floor and apartments on the upper levels. Above the passage is a relief of a dragon. The wall directly adjacent to the building bears painted advertisements, including one that reads: "GRAND APPROVISIONNEMENT / ÉPICERIÉS VINS & COMESTIBLES / DE TOITS PROVENANCES / A. BRUNET". Next to the wall, a bicycle shop is visible, with two men standing outside near the entrance and a third man in the doorway.
