This picture is actually a rare wallpaper that was hand printed in Paris in 1815. The artist of this painting is Dufour of Paris. This scene includes a group of people riding camels through the city and looking and the beautiful buildings along the way. I love this picture because it tells a story even though only one part of the story is shown on this wallpaper. There is so much detail throughout the whole entire picture, drawing much attention to the picture! The plants and even people look exotic and full of emotion even though they are still images. Anyone can tell by looking at the pictures that the people are traveling and passing through this town. Also, there is not a lot of empty space in the picture, which is what I like because I do not perceive this picture as boring and this makes me want to look at the picture longer. These wallpaper arts are now used for home decorations to make any house look like a black and white Paris scene!
