This is Félix Vallotton's La rue du Caire, dated 1901. The title points to a street, and the work invites you to look at it as a piece of city life. Vallotton was a Swiss and French painter and printmaker, linked with the Nabis and known as an important figure in the modern woodcut. He worked across portraits, landscapes, nudes and still lifes, usually in an unemotional, realistic style. That plain-spoken approach is a helpful way into this picture.
On your wall: A street scene like this suits a hallway, study or living room where a quiet, understated image of city life fits a minimalist scheme.
