Description
Van Gogh made four watercolour drawings in the summer of 1887 of the ramparts that stretched for thirty kilometres around Paris. This is most likely the Porte de Clichy - one of twenty-five gates leading into the French capital.
He created a lively townscape, teeming with little figures and details like the horse-drawn tram, for which he drew inspiration from the crowded street scenes he saw in Japanese prints. The bright colours of those prints also stimulated his creativity.
This townscape is one of the few ambitious drawings Van Gogh produced in Paris. He mostly worked in oil paint on canvas during his time there, to develop a brighter, more modern palette. Colour and brightness also play a central role in this watercolour drawing.
