Courtyard of an old tenement house in Paris, Antoni Kamienski 1860–1933, painter, 1925, gouache and drawing, 66 × 50.5 cm, A narrow urban courtyard scene dominated by tall, textured buildings in shades of brown, ochre, beige, gray, and muted blue, with several windows and a few recessed balconies showing small groups of people; the ground is a cobbled or paved surface in gray and muted blue tones. In the foreground, a group of people and children in muted clothing gather and sit near steps and railings in brown and dark blue, with a black cat on the ground and a small brown dog nearby. Several figures stand or walk through the courtyard, some clustered near a dark archway at the rear and others near a doorway on the right; a few people lean from windows or balconies above. There are scattered small objects on the ground and a few dark and greenish pipes or cables running along the building façades, while the overall palette includes browns, tans, grays, muted blues, greens, and touches of red and white in clothing and small details.
