The work was performed during the artist's second stay in Paris between 1911 and 1912. The Paris temple is depicted in winter. A special place in the artist's work is taken by the winter city architectural views. In the center of the composition there is a temple with two towers in the style of Classicism. The building of the fountain (Fountain of the Four Bishops) is depicted as a light spot in front of it. Horse-drawn carriages lined up near the facade of the building: presumably, the wedding of the newlyweds is taking place in the temple. The tall buildings of "Ottoman" Paris are depicted in the background. The Church of Saint-Sulpice (Église Saint-Sulpice) is a church in central Paris, near the Luxembourg Garden. It has been known since the 12th century. It got its modern look in 1870. Victor Hugo was married in this church.
