About the piece
Painted by Arthur Calame around 1860, this work captures 'La Poterne des Peupliers', a historic gate in the Thiers wall of Paris. The composition balances the verticality of the stone tower with the deep shadows of the riverbank and the soft light of a hazy sky, offering a tranquil yet atmospheric glimpse into the city's architectural past.
