About the piece

Painted in 1868 by Johan Jongkind, this work captures a vivid moment of urban transformation in Paris. The loose, proto-Impressionistic brushstrokes and muted tonal palette of ochre and grey create a sense of movement and atmosphere, highlighting Jongkind's significant influence on the early Impressionist movement.
