A Bit of Paris 19th-20th century

"A Bit of Paris," a picturesque cityscape by Joseph T. Keiley, captures the essence of Paris in the early 20th century. Created sometime between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this small-scale work, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, uses a muted palette and soft lines to depict a Parisian street, veiled in a delicate mist. The view looks down on a wide avenue, leading the eye towards a distant spire. This subtle detail enhances the sense of depth and distance, immersing the viewer in the city's quiet charm.
