About the piece

Painted in 1897 by Paul Schaan, this work depicts a stretch of the Bièvre river near the Rue de Valence in Paris. The atmospheric scene showcases the city's historic urban landscape, where the play of light on the rushing water and the weathered textures of the surrounding stone buildings create a sense of quiet, industrial nostalgia.
