About the piece

Painted in 1879, Norwegian artist Frits Thaulow presents a muted, atmospheric view of Paris from an elevated suburban vantage point. In the foreground, a pair of white horses pull a heavy cart, while the background reveals the hazy silhouettes of the city and the unmistakable form of the Arc de Triomphe under an industrial sky.
