About the piece

Created around 1905, this oil painting by Albert Marquet depicts the Quai des Grands Augustins in Paris. Marquet, often associated with the Fauves, utilizes simplified forms and a sensitive, muted palette to capture the hazy light reflecting off the Seine. This work offers a timeless perspective of the city, focusing on the essential geometry and mood of the urban landscape.
