Paris Street Scene with Arch at Left 

"Paris Street Scene with Arch at Left" is a small-scale watercolor by American abstract expressionist Mark Rothko. The artwork depicts a stylized scene with a large archway in the foreground, a multi-layered background, and a grid of lines reminiscent of city streets or structures. Though the title suggests a specific location, the artwork is an abstract representation of Rothko's interpretation of the urban environment. It is interesting to note that Rothko is better known for his large-scale color field paintings, and this watercolor exemplifies his artistic exploration in a different format.
