Place Pasdeloup
1928

Illustration of a colorful street scene with a whimsical charm, featuring a multi-story building with a black facade on the right and a green storefront on the left. The building on the right has ornate ironwork on the balconies and a sign with a rooster, reading "La Cressonnee." The storefront advertises "Vins et Cigares" and has a sign for "Dégustation Huîtres & Escargots." A solitary table with a red tablecloth sits on the sidewalk café under a street lamp. The background buildings are painted in blocks of red, white, and blue, and the sky is a light blue with cursive text floating above. The overall palette is pastel with a playful, slightly abstract style.
