    Southern street scene

    Leontine von Littrow (Austrian, unknown)

    Sunlight slants across cobblestones, casting long shadows from weathered buildings. A lone figure moves down the narrow street, their silhouette dissolving into the warm haze. Shutters hang slightly ajar, hinting at lives unfolding just beyond view. The air hums with quiet energy—a moment suspended in golden light.

    The Rue Mosnier with Flags (1878)

    Édouard Manet (French, 1832–1883)

    Flags ripple above a sunlit Paris street, their bright stripes cutting through the haze. Cobblestones gleam after rain as figures move past shuttered buildings. The city hums with quiet energy—a fleeting glimpse of everyday life beneath fluttering banners.

    A Confab (1902-03)

    John George Brown (American, 1831–1913)

    Two street kids lean in, heads nearly touching, sharing a secret or a joke. Their worn clothes and scuffed shoes hint at hard lives, but their animated faces glow with mischief. The cobblestones around them fade into the background—this moment is all about the unspoken bond between them.
