About the piece
Painted around 1898 by Jean-François Raffaëlli, this work depicts a lively square in Paris with the iconic dome of the Institut de France in the background. The scene is filled with pedestrians, a horse-drawn carriage, and the soft, atmospheric light characteristic of the artist's Impressionistic style.
