About the piece

Created in 1918 by André Devambez, this painting captures the atmospheric energy of Place Saint-Augustin during the escort of President Wilson. The composition expertly contrasts the dark, rhythmic movement of the cavalry and the gathered crowd with the delicate, stark verticality of winter trees against the city's architectural backdrop.
