Ornate historic buildings crowd together in a view of the Grand Place in Brussels, painted in blue, ochre and cream watercolor washes on torn-edge paper. A slender blue spire and a pale stone tower, along with the arched windows and balconies of the lower facades, take the place of the finder squares. Dark blue roof shapes and shadowed windows form the dense modules, while cream walls give clear contrast between them. Soft fading washes at the base and edges leave the center sharply detailed.
