Note: Joaquin Miro y Leo was a watercolorist and oil painter with a noted focus on French scenes. In particular, he often painted views from Paris, such as the Seine and the Opera House. This painting depicts La Samaritaine, a well-known retail business that still boasts acclaim in the modern day, surrounded by masses of horse-drawn carriage (fiacre) traffic. Despite being Spanish, Miro's extensive French and Parisian pictures indicate he spent much of his time there.
