About the piece

Created around 1910 by Georges Émile Carette, this work is a beautiful example of atmospheric Impressionism. It captures a quiet moment on the Seine, where working barges in the foreground provide a grounded contrast to the ethereal, mist-shrouded spires of Notre-Dame Cathedral and the buildings of the Ile Saint-Louis. The muted, pastel-inflected palette and soft brushwork create a sense of stillness and historical elegance.
