Description
This painting depicts the artist's brother standing at the window of the family home looking out towards a boulevard in Paris.
There is a sense of curiosity as to what the figure is looking at, his stance is one of confidence at one with his surroundings, hidden from the view below. His shadow contrasts with the strong light outside highlighting the urban environment and unique Parisian architecture.
