Vuillard sought assistance from master printer Auguste Clot to tackle the technical difficulty of using many colors in a single print.Description

The city street provides a microcosm of the capital.- ?-1951(William H. Schab Gallery, New York, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH)1951-Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
