This mural by Carlito Dalceggio stands at 7800 rue Jacques Rousseau in Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2013 and produced by MU as part of the city's Programme graffitis et murales, the programme that brings large-scale painted works to public walls across the city.
As a street-art stop, it suits a visitor who likes to explore on foot and let the city's walls set the pace. Montreal has a long tradition of murals and graffiti art, and a single work like this one is easiest to appreciate when seen in its surroundings, on a walk through the neighbourhood rather than as a destination reached by itself.
