Hopper's early studies of Parisian street life, unlike his later American works, don't depict scenes of ambiguity; his subjects aren't stuck in a state of limbo or lonely waiting. They do, however, exhibit the youthful artist's humour and his budding eye as a social observer, since they were created using watercolour and ink. They also echo his statement in a letter to his mother that the city fostered "a pleasure-loving populace that doesn't care what it does or where it goes as long as it has a good time."
