[1] Struth spent several hours or days in each museum that he visited until finally deciding which work he wanted to capture in camera.
In this case he took aim at a painting by French artist Gustave Caillebotte, entitled Paris Street; Rainy Day, in the room where it was exhibited in the Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting itself depicts several people, with their umbrellas, including a couple, in the foreground, walking through a street of Paris in a rainy day.
One, at the left, wearing a pleated dress, appears with a stroller, while other, apparently of younger age, with long hair and holding her hands behind her back, seems to be looking at a closer level at the painting or perhaps is reading the label.
We feel like rubbing our eyes when the space in front of the painting transforms itself into a picture that is not separated from the painting.”[5] A print of this photograph sold for £635,000 (then approximately US$777.088) at Phillips, in London, on 3 November 2016.
