The composition draws the eye into a lively scene: facades in shades of ochre yellow, green, and white, characteristic red roofs, and, in the vanishing point, an elegant pink bell tower with a burgundy spire. A bakery-pastry shop under its green awning, figures dressed in the fashion of the 1960s—the scene of daily life is captured with remarkable vitality.

The style is reminiscent of post-war Provençal Fauvism: flat areas of vibrant color, bold black outlines, and simplified forms rendered with a beautiful spontaneity. The canvas, mounted on a wooden frame, is in good condition, with no apparent damage.

Dimensions: 46 × 38 cm, depth 2 cm. Signed and dated 1964 at the bottom of the canvas.
