Au Violon (Off to the Jug)

Félix Vallotton

National Gallery of Art

The image is a painting of a street scene with various figures engaging in different activities in front of a row of shops. The scene includes a manhole with a man peering out, scattered bricks around him. Pedestrians are casually standing, conversing or observing. The shop signs read "MODES" and "EPICER." The palette consists of bold, contrasting tones, resembling a woodcut or linocut effect, capturing form and texture. This art style is reminiscent of Félix Vallotton.
