This unassuming print is a perfect evocation of Paris,
depicting the Tuileries garden with the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde and
the Arc de Triomphe visible in the distance. The play of verticals—granite
obelisk, marble sculptures, standing figure, and spray of water—suggest man’s
place in a continuum of nature and artifice, as well as of things timeless and
ephemeral.
