About the piece

Painted around 1880 by Stanislas Lépine, this atmospheric work captures the 'Le puits artésien de Grenelle' in Paris. Lépine, a significant figure in the transition toward Impressionism, employs a soft, airy palette to depict the iron tower amidst the buildings and strollers of the Place de Breteuil. The delicate brushwork and gentle light exemplify the quiet beauty of late 19th-century Parisian cityscapes.
