About the piece
Painted in 1899 by J. S. Le Merle, this atmospheric work captures a vanished corner of Paris along the Bièvre river. The composition is defined by the heavy, industrial architecture of the Rue de Valence, rendered in deep earthy tones that contrast with the reflective surface of the water and the soft, cloud-streaked sky.
