About the piece

Painted in 1913 during Maurice Utrillo's acclaimed 'White Period,' this work depicts the church of Notre-Dame de Melun. The composition utilizes a muted, tonal palette to emphasize the quiet architectural presence of the church against a brooding, overcast sky, reflecting Utrillo's mastery of urban atmosphere.
