About the piece

Painted in 1878, this evocative work by Gustave Caillebotte captures the quiet stillness of Paris under a winter frost. The artist employs a muted palette of greys, blues, and whites to masterfully render the textures of slate, brick, and fresh snow across the sprawling urban landscape, showcasing the Impressionist fascination with atmospheric light.
