1929, Archibald J. Motley, Jr., Dans la Rue -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: This busy café terrace appears to sit on one of the winding streets of Montmartre, the hilly area of northern Paris where Motley moved to an apartment with studio space. The scene captures a range of neighborhood life, from the street sweeper to the priest with his small black book to the flower seller in the foreground. The vendor pulls a sprig from her bouquet, which the artist rendered with thick layers of color, as if to offer it to the couple passing by.
