About the piece

Painted in 1902 by Ferdinand Marks, this work captures the fortifications along Boulevard Berthier in Paris. The composition is defined by a low horizon line that gives way to a magnificent, churning sky of white and blue, rendered with confident, textured brushstrokes that evoke a breezy afternoon in the city.
