About the piece
This 1783 watercolor by British artist Thomas Rowlandson captures the lively, satirical energy of the Place des Victoires in Paris. Centered around the monumental statue of Louis XIV, the scene is filled with a caricature-rich array of fashionable elites, commoners, and ornate carriages, all rendered with the artist's signature wit and fluid line work.
