Matinée d'Hiver sur les Quais (Winter Morning on the Quays)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an urban scene from a street-level viewpoint. The cityscape, buildings, industrial chimneys releasing smoke, and people and horse-drawn carriages are shown in fine lines and cross-hatching, creating a textured appearance. The color palette is primarily gray and brown. The scene conveys a somber and muted atmosphere.
