"The Rue Pirouette, 1860" is an etching by the French artist Charles Méryon (1821–1868), who is renowned for his depictions of Paris before its modernization under Baron Haussmann. This work is part of Méryon's famous series "Eaux-fortes sur Paris" (Etchings of Paris), which consists of 22 etchings created between 1850 and 1854, with additional prints produced in subsequent years. "The Rue Pirouette" captures a view of the eponymous street, which was located in the Les Halles district, a bustling market area in the heart of Paris.

In this etching, Méryon demonstrates his meticulous attention to architectural detail and his fascination with the urban landscape of Paris. The composition features the narrow, winding Rue Pirouette, characterized by its old buildings and the daily life of its inhabitants. Méryon's work is noted for its combination of realism and a haunting, almost eerie quality, which is achieved through his masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his inclusion of intricate details that invite close examination.

Méryon's etchings, including "The Rue Pirouette, 1860," are highly regarded for their technical excellence and their evocative portrayal of a Paris that was rapidly disappearing during the artist's lifetime. His work has been influential in the etching revival of the 19th century and continues to be studied for its unique blend of documentary precision and poetic interpretation of the urban environment.

"The Rue Pirouette, 1860" not only serves as a historical record of the old Parisian streets but also reflects Méryon's personal struggles with mental illness, which is often speculated to contribute to the somber and intense atmosphere in his prints. Méryon's dedication to his craft and his ability to capture the spirit of Parisian life during a transformative period in the city's history make this etching a significant work in the canon of French printmaking.
