Henri Rousseau, a self-taught painter who worked as a toll collector, gives us a dreamlike view of Paris in this 1909 piece. Instead of his famous wild jungles, we see a quiet riverside scene where a solitary figure in a black hat strolls along the quay. A boat flying a bold red flag dominates the foreground, contrasting with the pale sky and blocky buildings. In the distance, a church spire rises up, capturing the city in Rousseau's signature 'naive' style that makes reality look like a charming, simplified storybook.
