The artwork titled “Paris, Ponton des Bains Bailet” was created by the artist Paul Signac in 1885. This piece, rendered using oil on canvas, is categorized within the Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism art movements. Measuring 59.5 x 91.5 cm, it is a cityscape currently held in a private collection.
The artwork beautifully captures a tranquil riverside scene in Paris. Boats are moored along the banks, with a wooden structure prominently situated in the mid-ground. The water reflects the surrounding elements: boats, trees, and sky, blending in calculated brushstrokes typical of Impressionist technique. The sky, filled with soft clouds, covers the serene and picturesque setting, highlighting Signac’s meticulous approach to light and color. The composition embodies both the hustle of the cityscape and the tranquility of the waterside, encapsulating the blend of natural and man-made beauty.
