This scene was on Harley street with the Snowdon Bakery on the left and a butter truck on the right. I didn't know butter trucks were a thing, never having seen one before, but there it was complete with an elaborate refrigeration system. The driver who must have been delivering butter to the bakery quickly returned and drove off before I could get a single brush stroke down, thus the butter truck was done completely from memory. Testing out some more of Cézanne's painting style, I deliberately warped the scenery to create a plunging sidewalk and disjointed building structure, with several perspective points. He did this in his later works, which inspired cubism and abstract art.
