Rose bushes in terracotta pots fill wooden shelves and steps around a worn green door set in a pale stone wall. Blush-pink and deep red blooms mingle with silvery foliage, and more flowers glow, softly blurred, farther along the street.

Sunlight dapples the cobbled ground and the cream-colored masonry. Loose, creamy brushstrokes give the scene a warm, romantic, old-world charm.
