About the piece
This masterfully detailed veduta by Nicolas-Jean-Baptiste Raguenet captures the grandeur of the Tuileries Palace in 1757. Viewed from the Quai d'Orsay, the scene depicts the bustling life of the Seine with transport boats and the magnificent architecture of pre-revolutionary Paris under a soft, cloud-filled sky.
