About the piece
Painted in 1879 by Marie Petiet, this scene depicts three 'grisettes'—young working-class women—overlooking the city of Toulouse. The composition balances the rich, dark tones of their dresses with the striking red of a parasol and the luminous treatment of their expressions, offering a sophisticated glimpse into late 19th-century French life.
