Eugène Atget

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a courtyard. The image shows a small courtyard with cobblestone paving. In the center, there is a decorative stone archway with baroque architectural detailing and a potted plant inside. On either side of the archway are doors, one of which is partially open. Above the courtyard, there are wrought-iron balconies attached to the building facade, with windows covered by curtains. Two wooden barrels are located on the ground. The structure has an aged elegance with textures of stone and iron indicating its historical character.
