Old Street of Cagnes, Setting Sun

In "Old Street of Cagnes, Setting Sun" (1922) by Félix Vallotton, the artist captures the interplay of light and shadow in a quiet street scene. The composition focuses on a narrow alley in the village of Cagnes-sur-Mer, where sunlight dramatically illuminates parts of the aged, textured walls and the cobblestone ground. The golden hue of the setting sun contrasts sharply with the dark shadows cast by the surrounding buildings. In the distance, two figures are faintly visible, adding a human touch to the otherwise still environment.
