Description & Technical information
François Daulte wrote about this view of Paris by Marquet
"Here is Paris and its bridges releasing from the river by the light ; here is Paris with its trees sheltering the booksellers, here are the popular districts with their barriers covered with multicolored posters and their falling apart houses. They are wound with the spring sunshine
or bathed with the gloom of winter days, when the snowflakes fall on the quays and that fog, light and moisture clings to the entire city." (quoted in François Daulte, "Albert Marquet", Lausanne, 1988, p.24).
