About the piece

Painted in 1901 by Victor Marec, this evocative work depicts the entrance to the historic Cour du Dragon in Paris. The artist employs a warm, ochre-heavy palette to render the textured stone facades, beautifully capturing the play of light against the deep shadows of the monumental archway. The presence of vibrant red-and-white striped awnings and shop signage adds a charming, lived-in character to this classic urban scene.
