About the piece

This 1906 oil painting by Danish artist Robert Storm Petersen, titled 'La Morgue,' presents a contemplative view of a Parisian street. Executed in a moody, post-impressionist style, the work depicts silhouetted figures moving through a muted landscape dominated by the institutional architecture of the city and the French tricolor flag.
