About the piece

Painted in 1889 by Jean Béraud, this lively oil on panel depicts a gray day on the Boulevard des Capucines. Béraud, a celebrated chronicler of Parisian life, masterfully captures the social diversity of the era—from elegant figures in bustles to a smartly dressed soldier—against the grand, arched entrance of the Théâtre du Vaudeville.
