About the piece
Painted in 1777 by Pierre-Antoine Demachy, this serene view depicts the Seine at La Grenouillère as seen from the riverside terrace at the Tuileries. The composition masterfully balances a vast, luminous evening sky with the detailed hustle and bustle of horse-drawn carriages and strolling figures along the quay, offering a window into the architectural and social landscape of 18th-century France.
