Signed “E. Galien-Laloue” lower right.

Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854-1941) was a French painter and engraver primarily known for his lively depictions of Belle Époque Paris. From 1874, he worked for the French Railway Company, where he was responsible for designing the routes connecting Paris to provincial stations, thus entailing frequent travel. It was during this time that he began painting the various districts of the capital, scenes of daily life in which he faithfully reproduced the architecture of the buildings and skillfully varied the effects of light according to the seasons and times of day. At the same time, he also distinguished himself with landscapes of Seine-et-Marne (including Fontainebleau), Normandy, the South of France, and Italy. He exhibited regularly at the Salon between 1877 and 1914. He also became known under various pseudonyms, including J. Liévin, E. Galiany, and L. Dupuy.
