About the piece

Painted in 1870 by C. Bussilliet, this work captures a quiet corner of historic Paris at the Cité Nys. The composition artfully contrasts the tall industrial chimneys and architectural scaffolding with the soft, warm light of a shared courtyard, offering a grounded and contemplative look at urban life in the late 19th century.
