Oil on canvas, 49.3 x 65.1 cm Provenance: Private collection, The Netherlands N.B.: Eugène Galien Laloue became known for his work at an early age. He painted numerous views of Paris during autumn and winter, depicting the prosperous and elegant Paris of the belle époque. The successful start of his painterly career resulted in an exclusive contract with a renowned gallery.

Under these pseudonyms he painted the summer landscapes of Normandy and Seine-et-Marne, the later hotbed of the Barbizon School. In 1874 he started work as an illustrator for the French railways and depicted the railway lines between Paris and the surrounding provinces. During his long train journeys the artist became impressed by the surrounding countryside. The Republic of France appointed Galien-Laloue war artist, after which he completed several historically important works.
