Default Trying to find a painting I saw in the Louvre

I was in Paris in 2006 and I saw a painting that I am trying to find. I thought I took a picture of it but I can't find it. I don't know the artist or the name of the painting and I have searched the Louvre database. I'm just hoping someone knows it by the description.
The style appears to be chiaroscuro (but I may be wrong). It is lit in certain areas and dark in others with fine detail in the shadows. It shows a city street going away down the middle of the painting with the interior of a tavern on the left and an apartment building on the right. There are people huddled around a table in the tavern conspiratorially. That little scene is lit and there is a hole in the back wall that is dimly lit as well, the rest is in shadow. There is a streetlight providing light and there are a few lights on in the apartment windows. I know this isn't much but any help would be greatly appreciated.
