HENRY OSSAWA TANNER (1859 - 1937)
Untitled (View of the Seine).

Oil on plywood, circa 1900. 115x165 mm; 4 5/8x6 1/2 inches. Signed in oil, lower left.

Provenance: private New York collection.

This small painting of the bustling banks of the Seine is not only a charming view of Paris but a scarce example of Tanner's painting en plein air in Paris. The dome in this painting apperars to be a view of Les Invalides, of which Tanner made a larger oil painting in 1896, now in the Terra Foundation collection, Chicago.
