Crossroads in Paris or in the suburbs
1895 - 1905
Imagine walking through Paris on a very foggy morning where the buildings are just barely there—that's the vibe of this sketch by Frédéric Houbron. Using incredibly light strokes, he outlines a wide crossroads lined with tall buildings and a few lonely street lamps. It looks less like a finished masterpiece and more like a quick thought captured on paper around 1900. The faintness makes the city feel ghostly and quiet, as if everyone is still asleep, inviting you to imagine the noise and bustle that usually fills these streets.
