# A Street Show in Paris \(La Parade du Boulevard\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SAINT-AUBIN, Gabriel de]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 80 x 64 cm ## Commentary Saint-Aubin is most familiar from engravings and drawings, but his few surviving paintings have individuality and highly personal charm. La Parade du Boulevard is full of surprising colour notes, and even the angle of the composition is faintly unexpected. The tall arching trees which frame the street show, the energetic player duellists, and the slender spectators have passed beyond the topical into a realm of enchanted genre. The woman with a parasol who leans from a balcony is brushed in with a felicity which reveals the influence of Boucher. ## Related artworks - [A Lawyer's Chambers: Two Children Presented by a Maid]() - [Catalogue of the Salon of 1769]() - [Company Taking a Promenade]() - [The Randon de Boisset Gallery]() - [The Salon of 1779]() - [The Tuileries]() - [View of the Salon of 1765]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
