Maison 10 rue Jean Bart
1927
Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg captured a quiet, atmospheric corner of Paris in this delicate 1927 sketch. The scene at 10 Rue Jean Bart features tall, looming chimneys and a skeletal tree reaching over a wall, showcasing his keen eye for structure and shadow. Boberg was a prolific traveler who filled sketchbooks with architectural studies from around the globe, treating everyday streetscapes with the same reverence as grand monuments. This drawing feels like a fleeting, peaceful moment frozen in time, far from the bustling city center.
