About the piece
This 1885 study by Edmond Yon captures the ancient apse of Saint-Pierre-de-Montmartre, one of the oldest churches in Paris. Rendered in a rich, tonal palette of browns and ochres, the work highlights the interplay between the weathered stone architecture and the rustic wooden bell tower standing beside it.
