About the piece

Painted in 1836, Étienne Bouhot captures the rustic character of the Charonne district before its full integration into Paris. The scene features the distinctive spire of the Saint-Germain de Charonne church set against a soft, cloud-swept sky, while figures and animals in the foreground add a sense of daily life to the historic architecture.
