About the piece

Painted around 1880 by Giuseppe De Nittis, this work beautifully captures the elegance of a rainy day in Paris. Figures huddle near the storefront of the Parfumerie Violet at the corner of Boulevard des Capucines, their silhouettes reflected in the glistening, wet pavement in a masterful display of impressionistic technique.
