When Vermeer was rediscovered in the 19th century, some pictures by other artist who were as good as forgotten were attributed to him as well. The rare Boursse was one of them, and if you are more interested in mood than style you can still see why. This is a slightly simpler version of the poetry of Vermeer’s ‘Little street’.
