Marton (1912-1928), known both for portrait work and for street scenes, was himself a leading figure in the cultural life of wartime and post-war Paris. Artists at work are a world-famous feature of Place de Tertre and here we look past a painter at his easel and up at the domes of Sacré Coeur, with the awning of the La Bohème bar on the left.
