Coin de la rue des Rondeaux et de la rue des Prairies (Corner of the rue des Rondeaux and the rue des Prairies) (twentieth arrondissement)
On loan to The Met
This work of art is currently on loan to the museum.This photograph was made in an area that had been incorporated into the city in the 1860s. The figures sitting at a café lend the picture an anecdotal air and suggest that the neighborhood still retained much of its village-like character.
