Here Vuillard has produced a streetscape from an unusual perspective—he has cropped the trees and buildings down to just above the figures’ heads at his own eye level, producing a low but broad view of the road ahead. The street quickly moves into the distance, dotted with figures that are busy with their daily errands. With the use of diagonal lines and parallel planes, the space is divided into neat and orderly sections of light and dark. (Bonnard and Vuillard, 2008)
