About the piece

Painted around 1900, Germain Eugène Bonneton's depiction of the Bièvre river on Rue des Cordelières captures a vanished corner of Paris. The work utilizes a muted, tonal palette and soft, diffuse light to create a contemplative and atmospheric scene, characteristic of early 20th-century French urban realism.
