About this piece
A lively New Orleans street scene depicting the distinctive architecture and atmosphere of the historic French Quarter. King uses strong perspective to draw the viewer into the streetscape, while balconies, façades, figures, and period details create a sense of everyday life unfolding within the city. Painted in 1984, the work reflects King’s long association with New Orleans and his recurring interest in preserving the character of its historic neighborhoods.
Signed “Napoleon” and dated 1984.
