La rue de la Lune
1926
Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg captured this moody Parisian scene in 1926, titling it after the actual street name, Rue de la Lune (Street of the Moon). A massive, shadow-drenched building dominates the left side, its dark, scratchy texture looming over the narrow passage, while sunlight hits the paler buildings further down the road. Tiny figures wander at the street level, emphasizing the towering scale of the architecture. This sketch feels like a quick, atmospheric travel diary entry, freezing a quiet moment in the French capital with vigorous, expressive lines.
