Gezicht te Honfleur 1861 - 1866

This watercolor painting by Paul Huet depicts a street scene in Honfleur, France, executed between 1861 and 1866. Huet's signature appears in the bottom left corner of the small-scale painting, which measures just 110 mm high and 137 mm wide. Huet captures the architectural details of the timber-framed buildings, their facades and rooftops, using subtle tonal variations and a loose, painterly style. The composition, with the street receding into the distance, conveys a sense of depth and atmosphere. This watercolor offers a glimpse into the daily life of Honfleur, a popular subject for artists of the 19th century.
