Passages des Vieilles Boucheries 1875 - 1885

"Passages des Vieilles Boucheries" is a print created by Auguste Victor Deroy between 1875 and 1885. The etching, which is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, depicts a narrow street in Paris. The image captures the architectural details of the buildings lining the street, with a focus on the perspective of the street, as it recedes into the distance, creating a sense of depth. The scene portrays an everyday life with some figures walking through the street, adding a touch of life to the otherwise still composition.
