About the piece

Painted in 1902 by Frédéric Anatole Houbron, this evocative work depicts the Carrefour Richelieu-Drouot in Paris. Houbron’s late-impressionist style brilliantly conveys the texture of the city in winter—the slushy streets reflecting the soft light and the hurried movement of horse-drawn cabs and pedestrians. The muted palette and sophisticated urban composition provide a grounding, historical presence for any room.
