About the piece

Created circa 1885 by the celebrated chronicler of Parisian life, Jean Béraud, this painting depicts a damp day on a bustling boulevard. The central focus is a 'colonne Morris,' an advertising pillar that became a symbol of the city's vibrant cultural life, surrounded by elegantly dressed figures and a horse-drawn carriage in the soft-focus background.
