Display caption
An unfinished view, to which Turner has begun to add foreground details of busy street life. These indicate that he presumably intended to bring the subject to the same level of completion as his other Paris views on blue paper of the same period. The Porte St. Denis is a 17th century triumphal entrance to the centre of the city, in the Rue St. Denis.
