About the piece

Painted in 1825 by Louis Godefroy Jadin, this atmospheric oil study depicts the Le Petit Pont and the pont Saint-Charles in Paris. The composition uses the dark, monumental arches of the bridge to frame the sun-drenched architecture of the city beyond, creating a striking play of light and shadow typical of early Romantic urban views.
