The Louvre, Paris 1887

Albrecht Anker's 1887 watercolor, "The Louvre, Paris", depicts a quiet scene along the Seine River. The work, rendered in a muted palette, shows a row of trees lining the banks of the river, leading the eye towards a bridge and the iconic Louvre Museum in the distance. Anker's attention to detail is evident in the subtle brushstrokes that capture the texture of the stone and the reflections in the water. His style, often described as realistic and evocative, invites viewers to contemplate the tranquility of the Parisian landscape.
