About the piece

Created in 1909, this evocative work by Henri Rousseau captures the quiet atmosphere of Paris. Painted in his celebrated naive style, the composition balances the iconic silhouette of Notre Dame cathedral with the intimate presence of a solitary figure walking along the embankment and a moored boat topped with a vibrant red flag.
