About the piece

Painted in 1879, this evocative oil work by Johan Jongkind depicts the Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Jacques cloaked in winter snow. The composition features tall, muted buildings flanking a road where figures labor and a carriage passes, all rendered in a sophisticated palette of greys, whites, and earthy tones that perfectly capture the quiet, cold atmosphere of an overcast Parisian day.
