About the piece
This 1871 oil painting by Clément-Auguste Andrieux captures a somber moment from the Siege of Paris, showing a weary crowd queueing at a butcher's shop. The dark, atmospheric palette and expressive faces convey the tension and endurance of the city's inhabitants during a period of severe food shortages.
