About the piece

This 1865 oil painting offers an atmospheric glimpse of old Paris, focusing on the rustic north slope of Montmartre. Two windmills stand against a churning, textured sky, while the foreground is dominated by deep, earthy tones and expressive brushwork. The piece beautifully captures the transitional, somewhat wild character of the district before its later urban development.
