About the piece

Painted around 1830 by Étienne Bouhot, this composition captures the architectural rhythm of historic Paris. The work focuses on the play of light across limestone facades and various chimney pots, set against an expansive sky. Figures active on the rooftops add a sense of life and scale to this refined urban landscape from the collection of the Musée Carnavalet.
