From the Getty Museum record
View of shops and businesses on a street corner. The words "MAISON ROMAIN" are painted above the entrance to one business and signs advertising rental accommodation are visible to the right of the entrance. An assortment of newspapers is displayed outside the building on metal grates, while portraits, including a large portrait of a woman, are visible in a frame that hangs on the corner. Further down the street to the left, a shoe shop is visible, with a woman and several children outside, and women lean out of windows in the apartment building above it.
