About the piece

Created around 1900 by Paul Joseph Victor Dargaud, this oil painting depicts the historic Sorbonne university in Paris. The artist masterfully captures the play of bright sunlight across the classical facades, contrasted with the lively, detailed figures in late 19th-century attire wandering the cobblestone street.
