About the piece

Painted around 1880 by Emile Antoine Guillier, this oil sketch captures a quintessential Parisian scene: the Pont des Arts bridge and the distant silhouette of the Île de la Cité. The artist employs a loose, impressionistic technique, using broad brushstrokes and a harmonious palette of blues, whites, and ochres to evoke the atmosphere of a breezy day on the Seine.
