From the Getty Museum record
View of the intersection of two urban streets (the rue de l'Ave-Maria and the rue des Jardins Saint-Paul). Multi-story apartment buildings line the streets, with painted signs visible on the facades. Businesses, including a restaurant, a liquor shop, and a confectionery store, occupy the ground level of the buildings. On the left, a woman carrying a child stands at a street corner. A dog is visible near them on the street. A wooden siding stands in the road, likely to block the passage of vehicles. A car is parked on the right.
