In this street scene, Bonnard offers a glimpse into social life at the turn of the twentieth century as he depicts a large number of fashionably dressed Parisians out for a promenade. It is a very lively and energetic scene, with expressive brushwork, introduced
in an unusual color palette of vibrant green and mauve. The lithograph was published in the portfolio Das Mappenwerk der Insel, along with other original prints by Vuillard, Auguste Rodin, Maurice Denis, and James Ensor.
