Paris 1900

Everett Shinn's "Paris" (1900) is a watercolor and ink drawing depicting the bustling cityscape of Paris, featuring the iconic Arc de Triomphe in the background. The artist, known for his depictions of urban life, captures the energy and movement of the city through a loose and gestural style. The loose brushstrokes and watercolor washes create a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, making the viewer feel like they are witnessing the scene firsthand. The drawing is a testament to Shinn's ability to convey the vibrancy of Paris, which was a center of artistic and cultural innovation at the turn of the 20th century.
