The picture is one of the best known of the artist and is named from the street where the event was caught on camera. It was taken candidly in the
Rue Mouffetard, in
Paris, and it exemplifies what he described as the
decisive moment. The picture is also one of the best examples of the genre of
street photography, which was cultivated by the author. The atmosphere of the photograph is very light-hearted. It depicts a young smiling child, named Michel Gabriel, walking while carrying two bottles of wine on his arms. Behind him, at the left, the blurred image shows two girls that watch him amused. Two adult women, also blurred, are seen at the bottom left, of those only one is looking at the scene. ==Public collections==
