Jean Béraud - On the Avenue (c.1880)

 At the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, Béraud abandoned his plans to become a lawyer and instead studied portrait painting with one of the leading artists of the Third Republic, Léon Bonnat. Béraud began to move away from strict portraiture around 1875 and turned instead to representing modern life in the French capital. The spectacle of public space was a popular subject for French artists in the last quarter of the 19th century.(Christie's, New York - Oil on canvas, 65.2 x 81.3 cm)
