L'Estacade à Paris
In the period from 1849 until 1855, the Parisian cityscape, especially the banks and bridges of the Seine, occupied Jongkind as his primary subject. The structure he sketched here is the Pont de l'Estacade, a bridge connecting the right bank to the eastern end of the Île Saint-Louis. (Various iterations of the bridge stood in this location from 1818 until 1932.) The artist used this drawing as the basis for two painted compositions, one of which he exhibited at the Salon of 1853, where it was acquired by the French State.
