This watercolour, result of Grosz's stay in the south of France in summer 1927, belongs to ra-
rities in the artist's oeuvre. It is similar in character to his few parisian street views executed
a little earlier'. Such works, to which may be added some of the views of Berlin streets like
Passers-by from about 1926 8, are characterised by a horizontal composition, a loose disposition
cf figures, a more distant point of observation and first of all — a morę delicate drawing and
lighter colours, among which dominant are: grey, light blue, rosy and yellow, unmarked by
stronger accents.
