About the piece
Created in 1889 by Paul Baudoüin as a sketch for the Hôtel de Ville de Paris, this work captures the moody, fleeting light of dusk. Figures are rendered with loose, impressionistic strokes as they gather along the riverbanks, framed by the silhouettes of trees and a distant arched bridge. The palette of muted ochres and deep purples evokes a sense of quiet nostalgia.
