About the piece
This classical landscape by Jean François Millet II captures the Paris Observatory as seen from the Butte aux Cailles circa 1710. The composition features a lush foreground with pastoral figures—a shepherd tending his flock and a couple sharing a musical moment—leading the eye across a verdant valley toward the structured elegance of the observatory building.
