About the piece
Painted in 1901 by Frédéric Anatole Houbron, this work captures the bustling energy of the Boulevard des Italiens during a crisp morning. The artist uses delicate, light-filled brushwork typical of the era to render a dense crowd of figures and early city traffic against the backdrop of elegant Parisian architecture and golden-hued trees.
