About the piece
This 1846 oil sketch by Félix Ziem captures a timeless street scene in Florence. Rendered with a warm, earth-toned palette and loose, expressive brushwork, the piece focuses on a grand architectural archway that leads the viewer's eye into the heart of the city, evoking the hazy, sun-lit atmosphere of Italy.
