Cour d’une maison 12 rue Cortot
1926
Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg captured this rustic courtyard during a 1926 visit to Paris, sketching the famous house at 12 Rue Cortot in Montmartre. This address is an art history heavyweight—it once housed legends like Renoir and Suzanne Valadon, and is now the Musée de Montmartre. Though Boberg is famous for his grand Art Nouveau architecture, here he uses loose, energetic lines to depict a quiet, overgrown garden with a rickety fence, showing a softer side of his artistic eye.
