This nine-foot-wide painting was shown at the third Impressionist exhibition in 1877. Emile Zola, who had previously criticized Caillebotte for the "middle class" photographic realism of The Floor Strippers, was impressed by this piece and described the pedestrians in the foreground of this painting as representing "une belle vérité" ("a beautiful truth").
