About the piece

Created around 1888, L. Birge Harrison’s 'Evening on the Seine' is a quintessential example of Tonalism. The work emphasizes mood and atmosphere through a muted, harmonious palette of blues and grays, punctuated by the warm, luminous glow of boat lanterns and distant streetlights reflecting on the water.
