Vertical and horizontal lines dominate the composition, emphasizing a rigorous perspective that draws the eye toward the center of the image, where there is a house with distinctive red shutters. The color palette is restrained, favoring earthy and gray tones which instill an atmosphere of calm and serenity. This chromatic sobriety accentuates the timeless character of the scene, evoking a calm city at dawn or dusk. Each building facade is detailed with architectural precision that reveals the artist's interest in structure and form. The balconies and windows add a dimension of depth and realism to the work. The composition is balanced, with a subtle play of light and shadow which adds relief and texture to the scene. What makes this work unique is the total absence of human elements, inviting the viewer to think about the relationship between urban space and its function in our daily lives. The sense of stillness and tranquility that emanates from this painting encourages contemplation, making each viewer an imaginary stroller in this silent street. Original frame
