Here is an English translation of his Wiki page. According to this, in 1928 he was in Düsseldorf, Germany and he fled to Paris in 1933. So it seems like a decent shot that this was somewhere in Düsseldorf.

There certainly exist plenty of row houses in Düsseldorf as depicted in the painting, but I haven't been able to locate a corner building quite like this one. Would be interesting to see it today.

Cool!!

Safe bet this painting was made while sitting in this building then. This is the kind of thing that makes the Internet awesome.
