the ghosts of caillebotte and his dog at the place du carrousel in the rain [2006] oil on canvas, 30 x 30 cm

[inspired by a c.1876 photograph from Caillebotte and his Garden at Yerres, 1991 (Abrams)]

"In the background are the Rohan and Turgot pavilions of the Palais du Louvre. Caillebotte used this snapshot to paint himself standing on the Pont de l'Europe..."
