About the piece

Painted in 1856 by Eugène Ciceri, this evocative scene captures the rustic, village-like character of Montmartre before its full integration into Paris. The composition centers on the iconic dark wood windmill, set against a vast, soft-clouded sky, while small figures gather by a white wall inscribed with the word 'BAL'—a nod to the site's evolution into a celebrated dance hall.
