“Suburban Road” is an oil on canvas artwork by Maurice Utrillo, a prominent artist associated with the Post-Impressionism movement. This cityscape painting effectively captures a serene suburban scene with its characteristic focus on everyday life and urban settings.
The artwork depicts a tranquil suburban street flanked by tall trees with abundant green foliage on both sides. To the left, there is a church with a tower, partially obscured by the trees. The street stretches into the distance, guiding the viewer’s eye along its length and reinforcing the depth of the composition. The sky is rendered in soft blues and grays, contributing to the overall calm atmosphere. In the foreground, a lone figure dressed in dark clothing walks along the street, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. The use of subdued, earthy colors and the loose, expressive brushwork typical of Post-Impressionism enhances the natural and unrefined beauty of this suburban road.
