About the piece

Dated 1888, this impressionistic scene captures the Boulevard du Palais as viewed from Place Saint-Michel. The composition utilizes a sophisticated, muted palette and expressive brushwork to depict the hazy atmosphere and movement of Belle Époque Paris, featuring elegant figures and grand architectural silhouettes against a sweeping sky.
