About the piece

Painted in 1895, this monumental work by Léon Augustin Lhermitte captures the energetic atmosphere of Les Halles, famously known as the 'Belly of Paris.' The artist's masterful naturalist style brings to life the individual characters of the vendors and the rich textures of the market's produce, all set against the historic architectural backdrop of the city.
