Triumphal Arch 

Edouard Cortes, a French painter known for his depictions of Parisian life, captures a bustling scene in this work. Set against the iconic backdrop of the Arc de Triomphe, the painting showcases the vibrancy of Parisian streets with its blend of pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and a passing tram. The warm light of the setting sun casts a golden glow, adding a sense of tranquility to the otherwise lively scene. Cortes's meticulous detail in the architecture, figures, and street elements brings the Parisian landscape to life.
