About the piece

Painted in 1888, this work by Childe Hassam captures the atmospheric charm of late 19th-century Paris. The composition focuses on a woman browsing a bouquiniste's book stall on the Quai de Saint-Michel, rendered with the vibrant, flickering brushstrokes and masterful treatment of light characteristic of the Impressionist movement.
