About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Henri Harpignies, this oil on canvas captures 'Les Ponchettes,' a famous quay in Nice. The composition elegantly balances the grounded architectural details of the arched buildings with an expansive, atmospheric sky, characteristic of Harpignies' transition from Barbizon realism towards Impressionism.
