Created in the late 19th century, this masterpiece is a sketch for the decorative arts project of the Hotel de Ville de Paris, located in the 4th arrondissement of Ile de France, France, in Europe. The painting depicts a serene scene of boats on the water, with a circular building in the background, adorned with intricate decorative details.

The painting is an inset or interior detail, offering a glimpse into the decorative arts and interior design of the Hotel de Ville de Paris during the 19th century. The use of oil on canvas adds depth and texture to the painting, making it a stunning work of art that transports the viewer to a bygone era.
