The Courtyard of the Customs House

1775
Oil on canvas, 98 x 164 cm
Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid

This painting is a typical work from the artist's late period. The scene is presented as a slice of everyday life, and employs an ordered composition structured by the arcades which are in the purest classical style, as is the building on the right - the Paris Customs House.
