This painting shows the recent influence of its artists' teacher Léon Bonnat, who echoed Zola in calling this work a "beacon of beautiful truth." The new designs of Baron Haussman are everywhere in this work, painted two years after its artist's other often-cited piece The Floor Strippers. Two bourgeoisie figures walk directly toward the viewer in the right foreground, a man with his right hand tucked in his suit pocket and a woman with her right arm interlocking his. The triangular building in the back left center practically bisects this geometric canvas from the sky to the cobblestones. FTP, name this nominally Impressionist painting displayed in the Art Institute of Chicago, the best-known work of Gustave Caillebote, which features a bunch of blue umbrellas indicating the weather in the title city.
