About the piece
Painted in 1880, Emile Antoine Guillier captures a 'charbonnier' (charcoal seller) resting beneath a sprawling tree on the banks of the Seine. The composition masterfully leads the eye from the textured foreground with its alert dog to the sunlit arches of the Pont des Arts in the background, beautifully embodying the vibrant life of fin-de-siècle Paris through an Impressionist lens.
