The painting, showing a quiet street, depicts a typical aspect of the life in a Dutch Golden Age town.
It is one of only three Vermeer paintings of views of Delft, the others being View of Delft and the now lost House Standing in Delft.[3] This painting is considered to be an important work of the Dutch master.[4]
Straight angles alternate with the triangle of the house and of the sky giving the composition a certain vitality.
