Quai à la Seine, Paris, au Clair de Lune is a 1900 oil by Frank Myers Boggs, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows a nighttime cityscape with a river running through it. The river is calm and reflects the light from the city. There are boats on the river, and a bridge spans it. The city is densely packed with buildings, and there are lights shining from them. The sky is dark and cloudy, with a hint of moonlight peeking through. The painting is done in muted colors, with shades of blue and gray dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful nighttime scene.
