L’arrivée Des Midinettes 1901

Jean Béraud's "L’arrivée Des Midinettes" is an oil painting depicting a bustling scene in front of the Palais Garnier opera house in Paris. The painting captures the everyday life of Parisian society in the early 20th century, with a focus on the fashionable "midinettes" who worked in the city's dressmaking shops. The scene is alive with activity and movement, from the elegant couples strolling through the square to the horse-drawn carriages passing by. Béraud's meticulous attention to detail and the realism of the scene offer a glimpse into the everyday life of a vibrant and changing city.
