About the piece
Dating to 1897, this work by Jean-François Raffaëlli captures the vibrant energy of Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Using a delicate, sketch-like technique, the artist depicts a busy day in the heart of Paris, with the iconic church tower anchoring a scene filled with horse-drawn carriages and figures in Belle Époque attire.
