Les journeaux fantômes

More about Les journeaux fantômes

A high-angle, full shot, oil painting on canvas of two young boy news paper sellers, with a cinematic framing from the early 20th century. The boy in center foreground wears an orange short-sleeved collared shirt and holds an open newspaper with the title blurred slightly, though "CHRONICLE" can be faintly discerned, in front of a chest-high pile of newspapers strapped to a bicycle. The boy on the left wears a blue-gray short-sleeved button-up shirt with a cap on his head, and holds up a folded newspaper with the same title above another strapped pile of newspapers on a bicycle. The boys smile at the viewer. Both boys have brown hair and fair skin. They are on a paved street shaded by a canopy of tall, verdant trees that line both sides of the road. There are other pedestrians and vintage cars in the blurred background. The style is reminiscent of impressionistic art, with expressive brushstrokes and a soft, luminous quality to the light.
