Maison, 2 rue du Faubourg Saint-Jacques
1926
Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg captured this quiet Parisian street corner during a trip in 1926, sketching the building at 2 rue du Faubourg Saint-Jacques with quick, energetic lines. The drawing highlights the structure's distinctive tiled roof and row of dormer windows, all nestled under the heavy shade of a large tree. Boberg was a prolific traveler who filled countless sketchbooks with architectural details from around the world, treating these drawings almost like visual diaries of his global journeys. His keen eye for structure makes even a simple street scene feel like a masterful study in form and light.
