Scène de rue 1869 - 1931

Giovanni Boldini's "Scène de rue" is a dynamic charcoal drawing characterized by its energetic, gestural lines. The artist, known for his portraits and depictions of Parisian life, captures the fleeting moment of a street scene with a sense of urgency. The abstract, almost scribbled, lines suggest movement and energy, hinting at the bustle and excitement of urban life in early 20th century Paris. Boldini's expressive style and focus on capturing the essence of a subject, rather than precise detail, are evident in this captivating work.
