About the piece

Painted in 1880 by Paul Joseph Victor Dargaud, this oil on canvas depicts the street-facing facade of the Hôtel de Balzac in Paris. The work beautifully captures the architectural details of the masonry and the characteristic green gates of the courtyard, while the inclusion of two small figures in the foreground provides a sense of scale and a quiet moment of Parisian daily life.
