- Description
- Charcoal sketch on paper. The sketch depicts an empty city street. Flags fly from several of the buildings, while cannon occupy the far end of the street.
- A catalog card indicates that an original label on the drawing read: "Drawing made the day before the French troops entered the city. The flags at the windows and the abandoned cannons are placed for this event [liberation of the city]. The nearer of the large buildings was a Soldatenheim [soldier's home] and the farther, the officers' club."
