Une Matinée d'Hiver au Quai de l'Hôtel-Dieu (Winter Morning on the Quai de l'Hôtel-Dieu)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wet, reflective street with carriages and pedestrians. The street recedes into the misty distance, creating depth. The brushstrokes are soft and fluid with a sketch-like quality. The palette is monochromatic with various shades of grey. Figures with umbrellas are seen in horse-drawn carriages in the foreground. Building facades line the street, leading to a vanishing point in the distance. Tall buildings on the right have blurred outlines.
