View of the small rue des boulangers in the 5th arrondissement of Paris going up from the Jussieu square on a snowy day. A few silhouettes of passers-by bundled up humanise the scene seen through three large black trees covered in snow.

It is in the evening. The shop windows and some windows are illuminated with a yellow light reflecting in the puddles of the street. A snowy sky of pink and grey colours illuminates the facades of the old houses.

The pyramidal vision of the houses, which the branches of the trees seem to support, and the pinkish treatment of the landscape give a very beautiful, soft and nostalgic vision of the neighbourhood preserved from the artist’s childhood and adult life. Indeed, Germaine Lacaze attended the primary school on this street from the time she arrived in Paris in 1918 at the age of 9, her father working at the wine market (which became the University of Paris-Jussieu), and lived in the Vth arrondissement at 27 and then 41 rue Monge until 1947 and at 2 rue des Arènes until 1974.
