MARIE-FRANÇOIS FIRMIN-GIRARD (FRENCH, 1838-1921)

This version of Le quai aux fleurs et l'hôtel de ville was painted as a study for another painting of the same title which was exhibited at the Exposition universelle of Paris in 1900.
We are grateful to Patrick Faucheur, great-grandson of Marie François Firmin-Girard, for confirming the authenticity of this work, which will be included in his forthcoming Firmin-Girard catalogue raisonné.
