EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled "Esquisse de détail pour l'Hôtel de Ville de Paris : La voûte d'acier, figure d'un édile parisien bras levé, tenant une épée," is a mesmerizing creation by the renowned French artist, Jean-Paul Laurens. Dating back to the late 19th century, this artwork showcases an intriguing blend of the 18th and 19th centuries.
