About the piece
This 18th-century oil painting documents the construction of the Hôtel de Salm in Paris, now the Palais de la Légion d'Honneur. Numerous workers are shown hauling and carving massive stone blocks in the foreground, while the elegant neoclassical structure rises behind them under a vast, cloud-filled sky.
