Parkes Bonington was a British artist who lived in France for many years. He produced a number of landscape paintings, primarily of France and Italy before his death from tuberculosis, aged 25. He turned to painting scenes of Paris comparatively late in his career.[4] This work, an oil sketch, was painted a couple of years before his death. It is now in the collection of the Tate Britain in London, having been acquired in 1961.[5]
