Post-impressionism

A large building topped by a dome held aloft by classical pillars dominates this brightly lit city scene. The building extends from the right edge of the canvas. On the left, a clear blue skills fills the area above a church with a large bell tower and a section of yellow cobblestones partially filled by a number of pedestrians.

Beyond the edge of a window shutter on the right side of the painting unfolds a street scene along the Seine river. Multiple figures walk on the roads along each side of the river and over a bridge. The contours of Notre Dame Cathedral dominate the upper right quadrant. The painter suggested a hazy atmosphere by painting the scene in broad and loose brushstrokes of muted blues, purples, pinks, greens, and browns.
