Label TextLépine painted views of Paris in muted grey tones. From 1868-1872, he depicted the steep Rue Mont-Cenis on numerous occasions, both by day and by night. Here, he shows working-class people going about their daily business. As in many of his paintings, he gives prominence to the figures of a woman and child. Lépine exhibited at the first Impressionist Exhibition in 1874. While he was not an Impressionist, he did share the Impressionists’ interest in portraying scenes from contemporary life.
