About the piece

Painted around 1870, Émile Mathon captures the quiet stillness of Place Pigalle in Paris. The impressionistic brushwork highlights the textured piles of snow in the foreground and the soft, grey light reflecting off the surrounding Haussmann-style buildings and a solitary gas lamp.
