Catalogue Note
Thaulow went to Paris in November 1892, renting an apartment at 5 rue de Bellay on the Île-Saint-Louis, near the Pont Marie. During this period he conceived the series La Seine en novembre-décembre-janvier-février-mars, with a different view of the Seine near the île for each month.
The present work, looking westward from the rive gauche, dates from this period. The five views, which may have included this version, were submitted to the Salon du Champ-de-Mars that year, and were well received by the critics.
