“The Little Green Door” by Giovanni Boldini, painted circa 1873, is an oil on canvas artwork belonging to the Realism movement. The dimensions of this cityscape genre painting are 19 x 24.5 cm.
In the artwork, a small green door occupies the center, framed by a weathered, pale stone structure. The green door appears slightly worn, accentuating the realism of the work. It includes intricate details, such as a round transom window above and a metal knocker. The surrounding stone façade shows signs of age and decay, with patches of rough texture and varying shades of beige and light brown. The sense of depth is achieved through the skillful use of shadow and light, bringing an everyday cityscape scene to life with remarkable clarity and detail.
