About the piece

Painted around 1880 by René Billotte, this evocative landscape depicts the Quai d'Orsay looking toward the Pont de l'Alma. The towers of the original Trocadéro palace rise in the distance through a soft, hazy sky. Billotte's masterful handling of the gray and ochre tones captures the industrial spirit and the unique atmospheric light of the Parisian riverbank with refined elegance.
