Public Garden in Paris, 1899
1899
Frédéric Houbron invites us to take a leisurely stroll through a Parisian park in 1899, right in the heart of the Belle Époque. Tall, sketchy trees with turning autumn leaves frame a bustling path where fashionable figures in long skirts and hats gather, chat, and push prams toward a distant bandstand. The loose, watery brushstrokes capture the dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy, giving the scene a vibrant, fleeting energy that feels like a snapshot of a perfect afternoon. It’s a charming glimpse into how Parisians enjoyed their public spaces over a century ago.
