About the piece
This 1880 oil study by Swedish artist Hugo Birger depicts the lively atmosphere outside a restaurant in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris. Using loose, spirited brushstrokes and a sophisticated palette of earth tones punctuated by pops of red, Birger masterfully conveys the movement and elegance of Parisian society during the Belle Époque.
