La rue Montmartre
1926
Ferdinand Boberg captured the charming, winding slope of Rue Montmartre in Paris in 1926, preserving a slice of the neighborhood before modernization took over. The sketch features the famous Moulin de la Galette windmill peeking out on the left, a nostalgic nod to the bohemian history of Montmartre. As a Swedish architect and artist, Boberg traveled extensively, and this delicate drawing showcases his keen eye for architectural detail and atmospheric perspective. It's a quiet, almost ghostly snapshot of a Parisian street that once inspired countless Impressionist painters.
