About the piece

Painted by Étienne Jeaurat in the early 18th century, this work offers a tender glimpse into daily Parisian street life. The scene centers on a bill poster ascending his ladder to affix a notice, while two small children pause their play with a pull-along horse to observe. The warm, earthy tones and atmospheric lighting create a nostalgic and grounding presence suitable for traditional interiors.
